Why Overclock Your Computer?

Most processors are capable of running beyond their standard rated speeds. Some processors may only run slightly faster but with others it can be possible to gain significant performance improvements. AMD CPUs are widely known for their overclocking capabilities. Benefit from this fact by taking advantage of the top commercial overclocking service in the UK.

Coupled with our PC Upgrades service it is possible to achieve enormous performance gains.

What is involved in overclocking?

A skilled and experienced technician can safely change the processors clock speed so that it carries out more instructions per second. This can be done by either changing the Front Side Bus (FSB) or the multiplier setting.

Changing the FSB setting has an effect on the other components on the motherboard such as memory. Memory speed may also need to be adjusted and the voltage to the processor may need to be increased to achieve higher clock speeds. Overclocking memory and CPU are really two sides of the same coin.

How Is It Carried Out?

The process of overclocking must be carried out in small increments and with regular testing to ensure the process is safe. Monitoring tools should be used to keep tabs on the temperatures of the components affected. It also takes a certain kind of attitude to carry out safe overclocking. Surrey PC Support benefits from the services of one of the UKs most experienced overclockers.

In order to overclock a machine you need to be able to get to the BIOS settings. Some manufacturers do not allow you to get to these settings and overclocking is more difficult. However, there is always a variety of upgrade options open to someone who is determined to overclock their CPU. It’s just that sometimes it just doesn’t make economic sense to overclock a machine.

Side Effects Of Overclocking

Overclocking can result in additional heat being produced and if this is not carefully monitored, in extreme cases it can result in component failure. In addition the lifespan of a processor may be reduced however this is rarely a problem in practice owing to the speed at which CPU manufacturers improve the performance of their products. This results in processors becoming obsolete before they get to the stage where they may fail through ‘old age’.
