'Overclocking' in the computer world simply means operating a piece of hardware faster than the device's manufacturer-stated speed. Enthusiasts and hobbyists overclock their computer components to enhance the overall performance of their systems. In certain scenarios, overclocking one component can yield benefits from others, like in the case of increasing RAM speed as a consequence of overclocking the system processor. As a result, noticeable improvements are often observed in popular applications such as compositing, encoding and gaming, amongst others.
