Hello,
What exactly is overclocking and how do I know if I need it? I am going to build my own PC on this site, but when researching I see some prebuilt PC's elsewhere with CPU's that have 'overclocked' or 'overclocking ready' describing them. And some CPU's don't have that description at all. Similarly on this site I have the option to 'configure an overclocked PC' but I don't understand it.
So what is it? Do I need it? How do I build for it if I need it?
