If you're a beginner you may be wondering what is overclocking? Well basically, computer overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component such as the CPU to run at higher speeds than normal. It can cause a significant rise in performance of your PC if you do it properly.
This basic overclocking tutorial will teach you the basics of overclocking your gaming PC for the best performanc and to save money.
Now, in the past overclocking has been labeled as dangerous and too risky. If you weren't careful you could quite easily damage your components, and potentially this could negatively affect your wallet because you would have to replace any damaged parts.
But these days computer overclocking has become almost "idiot proof", meaning that it's very hard to damage your parts as long as you have a rough knowledge of what you're doing.
The great thing about overclocking your PC is that you can quite easily boost your total performance, therefore saving you money. As an example, if you were to choose good parts for overclocking, you could buy a custom gaming desktop for $600 and overclock it so it runs like a $900 system. All this whilst minimizing the risk of damaging your parts.
So if you're going to be overclocking your gaming PC, make sure you know this in advance before buying all your parts! Because you will be buying some of your components based on their overclocking potential.
