    OVERCLOCKING

    Hi,

    Coming in as quite an experienced PC builder, overclocking isn't something you can do without knowing about the hardware you're trying improve. Incorrect overclocking can, at worst, damage hardware rather than improve it.

    There's also the question of heat. Pushing hardware beyond its specifications will make your PC hotter, therefore better cooling will be required. Overclocking a machine too far can cause it become unstable and if heat becomes an issue, throttling will occur which will actively reduce performance.

    When experienced PC gamers overclock it's generally a modest overclocking, maybe a 10-15% improvement. If you're hoping to somehow double performance, overclocking isn't the way to go.

    If you're on a laptop, drop the idea. As it's not possible to improve the cooling on such machines, OC'ing just isn't an option.

    To be honest, I've never really bothered myself. I usually buy high end parts for my PC gaming machines. When performance drops I upgrade.

    OVERCLOCKING

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    I do not recommend it. You can generate more problems and end up spoiling your components, shortening their useful life. Need knowledge and adequate hardware. But if you want to do this, I recommend looking for videos detailing how to do it.

    Pixels are appearing on my home screen

    That's what happens to pc's when you overclock a graphics card. You get artifacts in 3d content, i guess maybe it's an issue when they overclocked the gpu??

    FH5 crash after loading

    Just to confirm, do you not have overclock for any hardware component in your PC, right?

    no I'm not overclocking any of my components

    I will try that last step tonight

    Will the Xbox One have a cooling fan?

    @dark, they already overclocked the gpu and cpu
