The word "Overclocking" is probably of the most widely used technology term which doesn't even exists in the dictionary. It is actually a very simple concept whereby the system components are made to run above their rated specifications. Over the years, people have already been trying to overclock their systems to obtain better performance and till today, the concept of overclocking remains unchanged but only the degree of overclocking has intensified much. As such, different group of overclockers have existed and their overclocking and cooling methods are somewhat different.

The most widely used cooling is definitely air which most overclockers do and for years, cooler manufacturers have been trying to improve on their cooler designs as processors get hotter. Air cooling is still the most cost effective and convenience cooling method that you can employ for overclocking but of course heat is always the issue facing by many overclockers employing this method. To solve the heat problem, there are a considerable number of overclockers who have already went water cooling and peltiers to gain extra Mhz out of their processors and indeed it proved to be a popular and viable choice for those who just can't get enough of air cooled systems.
