Overclocking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The clock speed that the CPU is marketed with is the speed at which the CPU has been tested to consistently operate well, but often processors can operate at frequencies substantially higher than stated in the specifications with additional cooling and voltage. |
| | With proper power and cooling, slower CPUs may be made to run at the same speed, or faster, than similar CPUs with higher stock clock speeds. |
| | However, the memory speed is computed by dividing the processor speed (which is a base number times a CPU multiplier, for instance 1.8 GHz is most likely 9x200 MHz) by a fixed integer such that, at stock speeds, the RAM would run at a clock rate near 333 MHz. |
