1 Three reasons why overheating would occur in the CPU would be the result of having a lot of dust inside your computer, dirt buildup. Having a faulty fan. Another reason would be not enough air flow coming and coming into your computer.

2 Overclocking is to run a microprocessor faster than the speed for which it has been tested and approved.

3 Throttling process is a process responsible for regulating the rate at which application process scene is conducted either static we are dynamically

4 Thermal compound increases the thermal connectivity of a thermal interface five billion microscopic air gaps in imperfect flat smooth surfaces

5 Since the core or processor is a unit that reads and executes programs instructions, such as copy or move data. multiple cores can do multiple instructions at the same time increasing overall speed of the programs itself

6 Hyper threading is used to improve parallelization of computations or doing multiple tasks at once performed on the PCs microprocessor. It addresses two virtual or logic corps and shares the workload between them when possible the main function of hyper threading is to decrease the number of depending instructions to one core.

7 A cache is used to reduce the average time to access memory cache is a smaller faster memory which stores copies of the data from frequently used memory locations. There is instruction cache to speed up extra executable instructions and a cash to speed of Dana fetching. Aim right through cash to write two main memory. Of some other names are L1, L2 or L3 three caches.

8 The maximum amount of ram of 32 bit CPU can run a is for 4gb but needs at least 1GB to run

9 theoretically a 64-bit architecture can address 16.8 million terabytes of memory, but needs at least 2GB to run

10 Motherboard clock speed is also called clock rate, the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions. Clock speed is a significant indicator of how fast the computer is.

A ,,, 0,Internal clock speed has much to do with a CPU’s performance

B …..External speed has to do with external buses
External clock speed the external address and data buses of the CPU Number of evenly-spaced pulses generated by a computer's clock to regulate the switching activity of the circuits. Measured in megahertz

11 Front side bus is usually for external communications both carry data between the central processing unit but the back side bus connects the cpu to the cache
