My new word of the day:
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values.
And, of course, the commercial sector has a solution: a fan.
When it comes to making sure that you have the fastest rig in the market compared to the rest of your mates, surely overclocking your computer processor as well as other chips that are able to be overclocked is a great idea – but there is always the downside of voiding the warranty should something go awry, not to mention a higher level of power consumption. Oh yeah, there is the other problem that might literally get too hot to handle – the heat that builds up within a chassis due to an inadequate cooling solution.
Enter the NZXT Havik 140 CPU cooler which is actually a high-performance CPU cooler that comprises of 6mm heat pipes, in addition to dual standard 140mm fans and expertly engineered fan blades that will be able to offer unparalleled cooling performance. Not only that, Havik 140’s fan blades were specially designed to slice through the air with little or no effort at all, helping maximize ventilation (90.3 CFM) at drastically reduced noise levels (25db).

So, Cindy, did you try to overclock your computer?
ReplyDeleteAh, no, I didn't try it. In fact, this was the first I had heard of overclocking your computer to make it run or download faster and I found it interesting that a special fan was invented to cool your computer down.
