What happens we Overclock computer component

[Neil'o]

Hi,

I read lot more about the Overclocking computer components such as RAM, Graphic cards, video cards etc, but one problem remains in my mind and that is, What happens on the computer when we Overclock that component or device and once that component overclocked is there any need to overclock that component again if that attached to other system?

Please suggest some information related to it.

Thanks

I have also read some articles on the internet where it was mentioned that Overclocking is not needed for every system and overclocking is done only to check the capacity of a component, it should be done by those who have proper knowledge regarding it.

Over clocking is done by experts obviously... You can damage your system if you mess things around that you aren't aware of. Generally It is done to increase the performance of any device above its stock specification. But this is a risk, if you do not know what to do and how to do, do not experiment without assistance because it generates more heat and requires more voltage and watts intake then its stock intake...
All the best, Happy and Safe Overclocking...!

Hey guys, I also heard that when we overclock component then it throw little more heat than its normal temperature, but proper overclocking also increase the component performance and over overclocking may damage the component as well, i will suggest all the overclocking freaks read the instructions and the Overclocking limit specify for the overclocked device....Because damaged overclocking device could be recovered.
Enjoy and safe Overclocking !!!!1
