overclocking if you've never heard of it before is the dark heart forcing your electronics to perform better than the manufacturer intended your computer CPU tablet phone and any other modern computing devices you might own have processors inside them that all have something in common their performance is dictated by the design or architecture and the number of cycles that they can perform per second which is usually represented as frequency or clock speed so that is where the term overclocking comes from you're taking the clock speed and turning it up over the manufacturers recommendation to get more performance now as I said before clock speed is not the only factor so it's not like you can overclock a calculator to perform as well as a gaming PC with that said you can make the calculator faster relative to its original state so how do you do it well first you have to decide if you actually want to overclocking often requires other aspects of your device to be run outside of specifications what will happen is your device will become unstable as you turn up the speed you can compensate by turning up voltage but that can cause additional power consumption and more heat output seasoned overclockers will have experience with anything from large heat sinks with fans for cooling to liquid cooling or even more exotic sub-zero cooling if they're trying to get maximum performance more voltage also increases the risk of failure so for this reason many manufacturers will actually refused outright to provide warranty service on overclocked electronics still want to do it you're not alone lots of people are willing to make these trade-offs that I just mentioned for more performance there are comprehensive guides that exist for overclocking pretty much any device that would benefit from it many Android phones can be overclocked with a simple app download and PC overclocking is a very popular pastime with gamers video editors or anyone else who needs more performance from his or her computer you can check out the link in the video description for my most recent PC overclocking guide you can also check out audible.com slash tech wiki for a free audio book audible.com has over a hundred and fifty thousand audiobooks available and while you won't need an overclocked phone to listen to them in the car while you're on the way to work it certainly couldn't hurt all you have to do is sign up for an new account and the first one is free I tried finding an audio book about overclocking but instead it came up with the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins which if you haven't already read it is awesome so that's audible.com slash tech quickie guys like this video if you liked it share it if you thought it was helpful that means a lot to us and as always don't forget to subscribe
