Hi everyone Over Clocking is of one of the biggest interest in Gaming/Computing. It does not matter which game you play or why you want to Over Clock or maybe just to see how powerful/Fast  you can make your computer run. What it boils down to is  everybody wants to do it. Post your information or come to get information.This information in this post is just information and if you are new to Over Clocking please do your research before you try to over Clock as Over Clocking can damage your computer if not done properly.We are not responsible if you have to  SmashComputer  because you Over Clocked without proper research.
Caution Over Clocking will "VOID MANUFACTURE WARRANTIES".  Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher clock rate than it was designed for or was designated by the manufacturer, usually practiced by personal computer  enthusiasts in order to increase the performance of their computers. Some of them purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher speeds  or overclock high end components to attain levels of performance beyond the default factory settings. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements rather than purchasing new hardware as expected by the computer industry.

Users who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and Random Access Memory (RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the motherboard's front side bus FSB speed until a maximum stable operating frequency is reached. While the idea is simple, variation in the electrical and physical characteristics of computing systems complicates the process. CPU multipliers, bus dividers voltages, thermal loads, cooling techniques and several other factors can affect it.
