Abstract

A method of automatic overclocking of a silicon part or chip, such as a central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed. A range of clock frequencies of both the CPU and a cache of a computer system are tested, with parameters being monitored, safety limits of the computer system being ensured, and benchmark tests being run, before arriving at a CPU and cache frequencies based on a selected benchmark score.
