What is Overclocking?

Overclocking (English: overclocking ) is a method to increase the clock speed of an electronic accessory to operate faster than the speed set by the manufacturer to improve performance, but this may cause the stability of the accessory and the life of the accessory to decline.

Overclocking is an electronic accessory
Overclocking activities are mostly loved by personal computer enthusiasts. The goal is to maximize the performance of your computer. Some users will buy low-end devices and overclock their performance to the level of high-end devices. However, more people will buy a high-profile computer to assist overclocking with an advanced cooling system. The price and choice of overclocking accessories and cooling devices have become overclocking. In addition to overclocking, you can make your computer hardware faster. Some players will also consider overclocking as an exciting game. Use different methods such as adding
It is usually PC users who overclock computers. Most of the computers used are
Overclocking requires more efficient heat sinks, including better-designed CPUs and heat sinks for graphics core chips. Air-cooled heat sinks usually use copper radiators and powerful fans, while water-cooled heat sinks are usually better than air-cooled heat because
The main consequence of overclocking is that it will lead to system instability, system temperature rise and even damage to hardware. Some people also believe that even if it can operate stably after overclocking, the life of electronic components will be shortened. Provide warranty or technical support for any consequences. Under some product lines, warranty rights will be lost directly after overclocking.
Frequently overclocked accessories are
  • Air cooling: Use a large metal heat sink (copper is the best) or a fan to conduct the heat generated. Some are equipped with a compressor to enhance heat dissipation.
  • Liquid heat dissipation: Use closed-loop liquid (usually water) to conduct the generated heat energy.
  • Two-phase evaporation heat dissipation: usually a closed cycle. The low-temperature liquid is evaporated near the heat source to remove heat, and then the steam is compressed and cooled by the compressor in another part of the cycle. Principle and
    As the main CPU manufacturers are aware of the problem of losses caused by users overclocking their computers, one reason is that some buyers will only buy cheaper products and overclock them to get the same or higher performance than the more expensive products. This has hit the sales of more expensive products.
    Therefore
    Overclocking through the hardware route makes it easy to lock the frequency without being affected by the system, but the risk of burnout is high. For example using
    It is safer to use software to overclock. After overclocking, it can be easily restored without any impact on the hardware. At present, the board products in the market are designed on the hardware side for the needs of overclockers, including heat dissipation and power supply design, and less on software.
