OVERCLOCKING - The process of installing high hopes, dumb luck, and several paychecks into a rectangular box which transmits a signal to a screen that displays your fate. The outcome is usually depressing.

To raise the stock speed of a GPU or CPU. Often in conjunction with a liquid cooling system to maximize effect. --- to overclock
hey.. i upped my fsb (front side bus), now i have 4GHz from 3.4 (speeds) on my P4 (Pentium 4 Processor) and the liquid coolings helping transfer the heat away rather well keeping it a nice and stable overclock.

An idiot who cannot accept that the people who make the hardware know more about it than they do, and cannot accept to just have things running a tiny amount slower and lasting a whole lot longer, which is generally cheaper in the long run (if you want faster pay more - your only going to end up paying more when you fry it)
Overclocker - its mint look how fast it is
Sensible person - your frying it
Overclocker - no i'm not theres a fan
sensible person - yes but the heat stress will shorten the life meaning someday it won't work

"Man it's like 5am and I got class at 8:30. Think I'll just overclock it because I'll get fuck all sleep"
