An overclocker is a user who pushes his PC to the limit of its capabilities. Such an improvement significantly reduces its service life. Even the use of a cooling system does not help.
An overclocker is a person who overestimates the frequency of the central processor several times higher than his capabilities according to his passport. You can "overclock" the car by increasing the applied voltage, memory or bus frequency, and installing new drivers.
The need for overclocking appears when a car bought several years ago is outdated, but there is no way to change it for a new desire and opportunity. And then the overclocker artificially improves the performance of his PC.
What are the types of "overclocking"
In the factory state, the manufacturer produces all the necessary components himself, slightly increasing their parameters. Custom overclocking involves the actions of only the overclocker himself. Here everything will depend on the capabilities of the user and his desires. He can choose a minimum of parameters that are responsible for overclocking, or stop at automatic overclocking, acting through the software or BIOS of the motherboard. Such overclocking assumes increasing the system bus frequency without changing other settings.
With a reasonable method, the user significantly increases the clock speeds, without reaching the limit values. In this case, the machine can work for a long time in this mode, and without stopping. To translate desires into reality, both bios and software methods can be used. Or, without further ado, arm yourself with a soldering iron and change the clock generator frequency, multipliers of secondary devices accelerating with the bus, processor voltage, its architecture and special parameters of a certain chipset. In addition, the frequency of the RAM, depending on the system bus, and the timings can be changed. Often the resulting "oven" requires a reliable cooling system.
With extreme overclocking, the overclocker increases the parameters of the computer to exorbitant values. Here, you definitely cannot do without a cooling system. For these purposes, freon cooling, liquid vacuum, liquid helium, liquid nitrogen, cascade systems and others are used. But even this will not save the car from having to replace the burned iron.
The flip side of the medal
Such a technical improvement requires an increase in voltage. Coupled with an increase in temperature, the life of a PC is shortened in direct proportion to the increase. Therefore, after several years of such work, you will have to buy a new computer.
