US 12,608,037 B2 · System, method, and device for implementing a temporary system adjustment for component overclocking

Abstract

Temporary system adjustment for component overclocking is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a processor and/or memory are operated according to first settings. During operation of the processor and/or the memory according to the first settings, a signal triggers a temporary adjustment of operation of the processor and/or the memory according to second settings. Responsive to the request, operation of the processor and/or the memory is switched to the second settings without rebooting. After a duration, operation of the processor and/or the memory is switched back to the first settings. In one or more implementations, at least one of the first settings or the second settings overclock the processor and/or the memory.
