Overclocking a CPU
Many people who would like their processor to run at a higher speed, suggest overclocking. For example, overclocking involves changing the processor that ran at 1.4 GHz to 1.5 GHz. By doing this the processor will run at a faster rate.
You should only consider overclocking your processor if you know what you are doing. Even though there is only a small chance the computer might become damaged by overclocking, a chance still exists.
When you have decided to overclock your computer, consult the manufacturer's website, and make sure there is a cooling fan installed within your system. With the higher speed, an overclocked system will produce more heat.
