DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS OC (OVER CLOCKING) ? HOW CAN YOU OVER CLOCK ? IS OVER CLOCK GOOD OR BAD FOR PC ?

What is over clocking ?

In computing , overclocking is the method of increasing the clock rate of a computer to exceed that certified by the manufacturer.  Usually the voltage of the component is also increased to gain operational stability at a high clock speed . when a component is over clocked it temperature rises and power consumptions also . Due to this increase in heat , frequency and voltage due to over clocking the chances a device may fail also increases . If the voltage supplied is not increased or the heat released is not under control chances of breakdown increase to a high level therefore many device warranties state that overclocking and/or over-specification voids any warranty.

Note :- Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory (RAM) or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

What is the limit for over clocking ?

Answer to this question is hypothetical over clocking has no limit the thing is that if voltage given and heat reduced are balance to optimal state over clocking can be done to a great extent but till date the most gigahertz got by a 8.723 GHz AMD Piledriver-based FX-8370 chip and its not the limit we can go more far and of we compare it to a daily use pc it’s a lot of speed like we have 3 ghz and it 8.7 which is a lot of gigs.

What is under clocking ?

 Under clocking is to reduce power consumption of a component and the resultant heat generation of a device, by lowering clock speeds and reductions in performance. Reducing the cooling requirements needed to keep hardware at a given operational temperature has knock-on benefits such as lowering the number and speed of fans to allow quitter operations , and in mobile devices increase the length of battery life per charge. Some manufacturers under clock components of battery-powered equipment to improve battery life, or implement systems that detect when a device is operating under battery power and reduce clock frequency accordingly.

Is over clocking harmful or not ?

Answer to this question is partially true and false . Basically  , if you overclock anything it emits more heat if heat is controlled then its totally normal but every chipset has its limit like a max of 5 ghz can be take out from i9 chipset . If we talk about graphic processors then company provides us choices of oc edition card most of cards are oc edition now a days . To over clock the card over the companies limit are not good cause after a limit increase in speed stops and the result doesn’t have a lot of increase in speed so its recommended that oc should be done under the limit stated by the company and If you do oc have proper cooling of the system.
