Overclocking

A desktop is basically designed to handle heat. It has space, airflow, big fans, big heatsinks, and it can shove power into the CPU without panicking. A tablet is built to be thin, light, quiet, and to last a long time on battery.

Because there’s less room for cooling, tablets hit their thermal limits faster and will often slow themselves down to protect the hardware. That’s why when you try to push extra speed, which requires added heat, on a Windows tablet, you’re immediately fighting the way it was designed to run.

In this blog we're going to break down just what overclocking is, alternatives to it, and what devices you can truly do this on. Plus we'll go over if it's a safe approach to gaining performance stats on a Windows tablet.
