Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Running a CPU at a higher clock speed than its rated specification, potentially increasing performance but also increasing heat and power consumption
A
Correct Answer
Running a CPU at a higher clock speed than its rated specification, potentially increasing performance but also increasing heat and power consumption
Explanation
Overclocking pushes a CPU beyond its default frequency for more performance, but it generates more heat and can reduce stability or lifespan if not managed with adequate cooling.
