A Better CPU

CSEF · 2017 Electronics & Electromagnetics

Aidan D. Garamendi · Laurel Springs, Valley Springs, Calaveras County

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn if and by how much overclocking can improve my computer. Methods/Materials I used my custom built computer to test overclocking. I used a dowloaded program called user benchmark to do a before and after test of my CPU. To overclock my CPU, in increased it's clock speed by 250MHz. Results My CPU had a drastic increase in performance with all measures increasing in performance. Conclusions/Discussion The implications of this increase in performance are many. However, it primary impact is that it gives people the ability to increase the computing power of a computer without any cost increase.

Summary statement

My project is about how overclocking a CPU can increase the power of a computer in a significant way.

Help received

I got suggestions and tips from Don Maund but I did all the work and research myself.
