Overclocking a CPU???
Overclocking a CPU???
What does overclocking mean? Does it actually improve frame rates in games? Or is it not worth trying? Also, can I do it with my current CPU? This is my current PC, and I intend to upgrade soon. I found this info here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04789637
Overclocking in certain games may boost your frame rates and offer other performance improvements. For your setup with a slim PC and an HP motherboard, overclocking isn't possible. You'll need a bigger case with improved cooling for the processor, along with a motherboard that supports BIOS adjustments to modify system performance settings.
You can't push the performance beyond what's built into the i3 OEM mini-pc. There are many guides already out there, including this one: http://www.pcworld.com/article/198882/ov...wbies.html
