Overclocking

As most of you know,overclocking is a part of my hobby.Let me introduce overclocking.

Shall we start now?

What is overclocking?
Overclocking is making your computer run faster then stock speed.The higher speed you run,the more heat it is going to produce so there are various way of cooling.

Why to overclock?
There are a variety of reason to overclock,some is too poor to buy higher end hardware,gaming is laggy,benchmarking,get more value for money.......

Benchmarking
Overclocking often involve benchmarking.Benchmarking is some program that allow 2 computer performance to be compare and we ofter race in benchmarking.

Why i overclock?
I overclock for benchmarking and daily usage/get more value for money and currently,i am starting to go hardcore in overclocking.

Type of benchmarking
There are several type of benchmarking.The longest benchmark around and my favorite benchmarking is Super PI,it is simple but fun and very sensitive to increase in cpu speed.Then,there are wprime,cinebench,pifast,mpi for 2d benchmarking.Then there are 3dmark for 3d benchmark.There are 3dmark 01se,3dmark03,3dmark05,3dmark06 and 3dmark vantage soon with aquamark as well.

Does overclock have sense?
In my opinion,there are no sense in hardcore overclocking,everyone just keep racing benchmark and spend ton and ton of $$$ for benchmark/overclocking purpose hardware/cooling.
