Overclocking: Maximize Your Performance
Unlocked Intel® Core™ processors let you overclock the CPU for even more gaming power and performance.1 2
What Is Overclocking?1
Overclocking your unlocked Intel® Core™ processor, RAM, and motherboard is a way to custom tune your PC. You can adjust the power, voltage, core, memory settings, and other key system values for more performance. It helps speed up your components—and your gameplay. It can also help with processor-intensive tasks such as image rendering and transcoding.
