The process of running a processor at a speed faster than the officially marked speed by using a higher clock multiplier or faster bus speed. Not recommended or endorsed by processor manufacturers because it causes overheating.
The process of running a processor, memory or video card at a speed faster than the officially marked speed by using a higher clock multiplier or faster bus speed. Not recommended or endorsed by the device manufacturers. The parallel port transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time (that is, in parallel form, eight bits at the same time).
Setting a microprocessor to run at speeds above the rated specification.
The act of running a chip at a higher clock speed than it was specified for. Very often, chips are capable of running faster than they are specified for,...
Forcing a CPU to run at a higher clock speed than listed on the manufacturers specification. Overclocking a CPU increases its performance, although it can result in system instability and may cause damage to the CPU.
Overclocking is the practice of adjusting your computer settings so your CPU will run faster than the manufacturer's recommended speed. Overclocking is possible, but risky. In addition, overclocking will void your warranty.
This is the term for running a CPU, video card, or other component faster than its rated speed. See my Advanced Topics for more information on this.
Increasing the clock rate or frequency at which a device runs. The CPU and video card can are two devices that can be overclocked, among others.
The art and science of making a processor run at a higher then normal clock speed. For instance, changing the multiplier so that a 500Mhz chip runs at 667Mhz.
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.
