Assalamualaikum steemians

** _______ How are you?Hope so everyone would be safe and sound just like me as I am also safe Alhamdulillah... _____ If I talk about my today's topic then I am going to share about two theoratical but unique terms with you all so let me delve into its depth! ![pexels-photo-1181675.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUUVSUVdJLdySM2nWVyNyZ1KFJgeRtETciwRvMKxz7Kp9/pexels-photo-1181675.jpeg)[Source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-photo-of-person-typing-on-laptop-1181675/) If I talk about overclocking and benchmarking then these are two important strategies which computer enthusiasts use for squeezing each last bit of efficiency and performance out of their systems.This overclocking consist to enhance speed of clock of processor of a computer or graphics card for achievement of more efficient performance. If I talk about benchmarking then this is phenomenon to test performance of a system by usage of standardized tests.So I would like to explore more about their associated benefits,risks or challanges etc. Overclocking consists of enhancing speed of clock of processor of a computer or graphics card beyond its speed set by factory.It may be done by adjustment of clock multiplier frontside bus speed as well as memory clock of a graphic card. It may result in efficient gains in performance most specifically in those applications which may have total reliance at performance of processor or graphics card but overclocking is used for also enhancing challange of overheating, instability as well as damage to components of system. If I talk about benchmarking then this is phenomenon to test performance of system by usage of standard tests.These are those tests which are particularly used for measurement of performance of systems in particular area including performance of processors, performance of graphics card as well as memory bandwidth. If I talk about benchmarking then these are used for providing for comparing efficiency of different systems as well as for evaluation of effect of upgrades and overclocking at performance of a system.Some of famous benchmarking tools are 3DMark, cinebench and geekbench. ![pexels-photo.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdtLFn22pVDr2j5qVLJeu4UL2VFu5jpzFa4UjYTm7JeSG/pexels-photo.jpg)[Source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/silver-laptop-and-white-cup-on-table-7974/) If I talk about benefits of overclocking and benchmarking then first of all overclocking results in potential gains in performance as well as efficiency which is used for which is used for permitting users for running demanding applications in more efficient way. If I talk about benchmarking then it gives a lot of ways for evaluation of performance of systems, identification of bottleneck as well as comparison of performance of different systems.By combination of overclocking and benchmarking users may optimize their systems for maximisation of efficiency as well as performance. If I talk about risks of overclocking then they may be offering potential gains in performance, it also enhances challenges of overheating, instability as well as damage to components of system.Overclocking may cause system for running hotter that may cause reduction in its lifespan as well as increasing risk of component failure.More than this overclocking may cause instability of system which results in crashes, freezes as well as loss of data. ________ If I talk about benchmarking of system then it's a simple process.First of all there's a need of choosing benchmarking tool which cause alignment with goals of testing.After that there's a need of downloading and installing tool and then running test.This tool may be providing with score or result which may be used for indicating performance of systems.You may use this result for comparing performance of systems to other systems or for evaluation of effect of upgrades as well as overclocking. If I conclude overclocking and benchmarking then these are powerful strategies for helping computer enthusiasts as well as professionals fpr unlocking potential of their systems.By having a know how of advantages as well as challenges of overclocking as well as choosing right benchmarking tools users may optimizing their systems for maximization of performance as well as efficiency. ---------- **
