Re: Can someone explain in SIMPLE terms "overclocking"



The quick simple answer is it is NOT advisable unless you know exactly what
you are doing.
At the very least, you will probably void the warranty of the motherboard
and processor.
The computer warranty will also be void if it is OEM.
The worst case is fried components because of overheating.

Proceed with caution after learning in detail exactly how overclocking can
affect your computer.
