The process of forcing any computer component like, processors, RAM, video cards and motherboard chipsets to run in a higher clock speed than the speed to which it was designed for by the manufacturer is called Overclocking. Overclocking is generally done by home PC users to boost the performance of their computer.
The main objective of overclocking is to improve the performance of low clock speed components to meet the minimum requirement of some new hardware or software. Some also overclock components to attain better performance from it. OEM systems generally disable this feature to prevent misconfiguration.
Even though it seems simple, overclocking is actually a very complex process involving high risk. One has to ensure sufficient voltage is given to the overclocked component. Excessive power can prove destructive too. Sufficient cooling measures should be taken as overclocking results in production of increased heat by the component.
