Re: Overclocking Explanation
Overclocking literally means modifying settings on a clocked component (e.g. RAM, CPU, GPU) to make it run faster (and as a result, hotter) than it was meant to. It can give a decent speed boost to older components.

Re: Overclocking Explanation
If you set the Core clock or multiplier too high, or set the voltages wrong, it can do fatal damage.
