What are the advantages and disadvantages of overclocking your CPU?
Can you overclock an i3-2310M that is in a laptop?
If yes how?
I would not recommend it because if you overclock the CPU it will consume more power and it will become significantly warmer! Your fan could not make it and your PC is smoking you. Let it be best!
Advantages:
More efficient
Disadvantage:
Shorter lifespan
Higher temperatures
Possibly BIOS "broken" → BIOS reset
Stresses other component
Higher power consumption
Your CPU will have more ghz after overclocking. The disadvantage is that it overheats more easily, so you need a good cooler if you want to do that. And the i3, do you just want to overclock it for practice or do you still play on this processor? But I'm not sure if you can overclock this CPU because not all Intel CPUs are overclockable.
And before you overclock, I'd get a little more information.
No, you can't overclock this CPU.
It makes more sense to upgrade the CPU. For example on an i5- 2520m or i5-2540m up to 3.3 GHz
Upgrade to i5-2520m or i5-2540m. The latter has a turbo up to 3.3GHz.
And no you can't operate an i3-2320m in the OC.
