This course will teach students how to build, maintain, and overclock a modern PC. We will also show students how to overclock a modern computer. By tweaking settings in a computer's BIOS (basic input output system), one can achieve much faster speeds than would be possible on stock settings. However, an increase in processor frequence does not come free; temperatures and stability must also be carefully monitored in order for an overclock to be considered successful. For example, rather than buying a $900 3.00 Ghz Quad-core processor from Intel, one could buy a $200 Ghz processor and fairly easily overclock it to over 4.00 Ghz. For any extreme PC user, overclocking is an invaluable skill to have.
