Calculate New Voltage for Overclocking





Formula

The formula to calculate the new voltage for a given clock speed when overclocking a CPU is:

\[ V_{\text{new}} = V_{\text{original}} \times \left(\frac{C_{\text{new}}}{C_{\text{original}}}\right) \]

What is CPU Overclocking?

CPU overclocking is the process of increasing the clock speed of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) beyond the manufacturer’s specified rate. This is done to improve the performance of the CPU, allowing it to handle more tasks or run more demanding applications. Overclocking can lead to higher performance in tasks such as gaming, video editing, and other CPU-intensive activities.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the new voltage:

\[ V_{\text{new}} = 1.2 \times \left(\frac{4000}{3000}\right) = 1.6 \text{ V} \]

This means that the new voltage for this example is 1.6 V.
