If any two things ever went hand-in-hand it’s building your own gaming computer and overclocking your processor. In this overclocking guide, we will take you through everything you need to know before you take your CPU passed stock settings.

In the simplest of terms, overclocking makes your component run faster, which thus allows it to perform better. Essentially, you’re forcing your component (in this case, your processor) to complete more operations per second.
