The art of overclocking has been around a long time, but it is continuously developing. Whereas only some years ago you required changing jumpers on the motherboard to get access to a few pre-defined front side bus (FSB) frequencies, today’s motherboards can produce hundreds of frequencies from the BIOS setup program without changing the speeds of other components. And now you do not even require doing it through the BIOS setup—software exists that lets you over clock from within the OS itself.

Lots of Software

This article will describes you about a number of various applications that let you over clock your CPU and your graphics card. A few of them may even replace the memory frequency and timings. Obviously, you can use software like this at your own risk, but if you stay within reasonable limits, is that there is a risk of harm to your hardware and the additional benefit of efficiency is often important.
