Overclocking is the term for increasing a component’s CPU (Central Processing Unit or computer hardware) to speed up its performance. Increasing the clock rate causes the component to run at a higher speed and perform more operations per second. Overclocking maximizes the speed and performance of your PC beyond its factory setting.
The basic step-by-step process of overclocking if you're just looking for general advice:
Determine if your CPU and motherboard support overclocking and if your cooler and power supply are sufficient.
Run CPU stress tests and record baseline performance benchmarks.
Enter the BIOS or open the software overclocking utility
Set the CPU multiplier/frequency to your desired overclock
Adjust CPU Voltage (Vcore)
Reboot your system
Conduct stress tests
Wash, Rinse, Repeat
