Underclocking
Sign in to saveAlso known as underclock
Underclocking, also known as downclocking, is modifying a computer or electronic circuit's timing settings to run at a lower clock rate than is specified. Underclocking is used to reduce a computer's power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system's stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility. Underclocking may be implemented by the factory, but many computers and components may be underclocked by the end user. Underclocking is the opposite of overclocking.

Underclocking - zmniejszenie częstości zegara procesora, jest przeciwieństwem overclockingu. Obniżanie taktowania ma na celu zmniejszenie wydzielania ciepła, a w efekcie oszczędzanie energii i cichszej pracy układu chłodzenia. Metoda jest adresowana głównie do ludzi bardzo wyczulonych na hałas dobiegający z obudowy komputera lub dla urządzeń mobilnych w celu wydłużenia ich działania na baterii.
