Overclocking is the process of forcing your computer to run faster than it's intended to go, which can help you run advanced programs on an older PC.
The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
RivaTuner is a freeware overclocking and hardware monitoring program that was first developed by Alexey Nicolaychuk in 1997 [1] for the Nvidia video cards.It was a pioneering application that influenced (and in some cases was integrated into) the design of subsequent freeware graphics card overclocking and monitoring utilities.
An Intel November 2008 white paper [10] discusses "Turbo Boost" technology as a new feature incorporated into Nehalem-based processors released in the same month. [11]A similar feature called Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) was first available with Core 2 Duo, which was based on the Santa Rosa platform and was released on May 10, 2007.
G.SKILL is known for its range of DDR, [4] DDR2, [5] DDR3, [6] DDR4 [6] and DDR5 [7] computer memory. RAM is available in single-channel, dual-channel, triple-channel and quad-channel packs for desktops, workstations, HTPC, as well as netbooks and laptops. [8] It was shown to be the only DDR4 manufacturer not vulnerable to the rowhammer ...
Celeron is a series of IA-32 and x86-64 computer microprocessors targeted at low-cost personal computers, manufactured by Intel from 1998 until 2023. The first Celeron-branded CPU was introduced on April 15, 1998, and was based on the Pentium II. Celeron-branded processors released from 2009 to 2023 are compatible with IA-32 software.
In these systems all PCIe connections are routed directly to the CPU. [10] The UMI interface previously used by AMD for communicating with the FCH is replaced with a PCIe connection. Technically the processor can operate without a chipset; it only continues to be present for interfacing with low speed I/O. AMD server CPUs adopt a self contained ...
Tom's Hardware is an online publication owned by Future plc and focused on technology. It was founded in 1996 by Thomas Pabst. [1] It provides articles, news, price comparisons, videos and reviews on computer hardware and high technology.
