One of the key areas where overclocking helps gaming is boosting the low/minimum FPS
in games. It's those demanding moments in games with lots of action and textures that
can cause a PC to momentarily slow down with FPS dipping to low digits under heavy
load where CPU often needs to work very hard and running faster speed will improve FPS
and gaming experience. Second important aspect of overclocking is combining a fast CPU
with a high end GPU. After high end GPU is bottlenecked games such as PUBG are good
examples of this type of behavior and having a fast CPU combined with a decent graphics
card will leave you fragging without FPS dips.
Overclocking gives you a free performance boost, why not give it a shot!
Is my notebook processor comparable to my desktop
processor?
Desktops have much higher power requirements and better heat dissipation capabilities
compared to notebooks. The same model processor in a desktop performs better than
the mobile equivalent. CPU speed can have a impact on graphics performance and
desktop CPUs will have superior performance because of that.
What can I overclock?
The most often overclocked components are the CPU, video card and memory. In this
guide our focus is CPU overclocking.
Disclaimer: Overclock at your own risk!
Overclocking your CPU voids your warranty and it can also damage your CPU, especially
if done incorrectly.
