Overclocking

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000866

The practice of increasing a computer component's clock rate beyond its manufacturer-certified speed. This process aims to boost the component's performance, such as a central processing unit (CPU) or graphics processing unit (GPU). It can lead to increased heat generation and potential instability, often requiring enhanced cooling solutions.
