Just be sure it doesn't clock out
Aliencow
I studied 1080p technology at MIT, can confirm.

I've got my alarm clock overclocked but I'm still no more productive
MoistPete
Holy shit, didn't think I'd see myself on the front page!

Changing the system 32 file to 33 increases your speed as well

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
HailSatinGodOfFabric
be sure to add a heat sink by cranking up your hot water heater and turning the faucet on full blast hot
Smashysmash
Ha! Heat sink! I get it!

Remember when you could hack games by changing the system clock

TBH this was posted on an ask Reddit where the objective was to post shit anybody will believe..

here's where OP stole it https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3rli7o/what_is_a_completely_ridiculous_fact_that_any/

Infallible logic programmatically speaking.

To be fair, this was to a question "What is a completely ridiculous "fact" that any stupid person would undoubtably buy?" :P

My clock on my phone keeps changing itself to Fiji time inside my pocket. I'm always late. Think these problems r related sorta
Hydro604
Wait - that's how it works, right?
hugglesthemerciless
On Windows 8 if you overclocked it changed how fast your clock goes. They patched it though
Ovinus
Pro-tip: Overclock your work computer so you can leave earlier and have increased speeds at the same time!

Welcome to the woooooooooorllllld of tomorrrrrroooooooow!

thanks! now i can finally get a promotion! - some Sim probably
robbiexor
2 gigs in points for that, nice.
CerealFirstOrWaterFirst
i'm a computerologist and i'm 100% sure this is how it works.

Also, underclocking allows users to travel back in time
shyriath
88 MHz per hour.
AttackMyWeakSpotForMassiveDamage
A hert is by nature per second, adjust thy math
shyriath
(Shhhhh)
snowdemon
No just slow time
Rhalar
Exactly Underclocking just gives you more time to complete that paper

You know your Reddit comment has made it when it's being posted to Imgur.
MoistPete
THAT IS CURRENTLY MY THOUGHT PROCESS YES
Robobr0
Anyone else thinking of Jeremy tricking the boiler on Peep Show?
PiGiSpi
ironically something similar happened on an old desktop. for some reason the clock changed to like the year 3583 and the computer ran super
PiGiSpi
slow until I fixed it

Fun fact: this actually, really, seriously, truly does make minecraft run super fast for a few minutes.

Can confirm, first computer had a turbo button. Pressed it and ended up here.

I'm guessing imgur works great with that 486 since it keeps pace nicely with the imgur servers

Turbo button basically doubled bus speed, think hyperthreading before CPUs even worked at multiples of a base bus speed.
dauntlessds
Could have at least started with, "LOL! ... but actually,..." Just straight up party pooper.
ChlorideCull
Well, it did on one of my previous laptops, it shipped with Vista and you could keep it running for 10 minutes with turbo on before it died.
Numus
It made the numbers on the front of my computer go from 33 to 66!!!!
NightRush
My Pentium had a turbo button. I later found out the only thing it was connected to, was the green LED.
IAmTheBadW01f
Now I want to install one on the computer of every computer-illiterate friend I have.....
Macksiiie
Don't the results aren't funny. "Oh wow it seems faster already, thanks" You'll question your judgement abilities.
Woofbloodywoof
I once installed an unnamed dial on someone's computer, they swear it makes their internet slower when turned down. It did nothing.
LaBix
I had a similar computer with only a green light turbo button. I used to hit it repeatedly when waiting for things to load.
walterpeck
I... I know. It was a joke.
enzio64
And I... I learned what a turbo button was.
Enixiz
He gave you false information, it is not some damn voodoo button.
Enixiz
No, SoNorth is making shit up. He's dead wrong.

Incidentally
Why was it called turbo then? Call it granny gear or some shit.

late 90's pentenium?

486-DX33 actually.
47MexicanWhoopingLlamas
I had a 386-SX (I think) when I was a kid. 25mhz base and 33 amazing Mhz with that turbo button.
kohrah
Aww, my first computer was also a 486 DX33. 8 megabytes of RAM, 170 MB of HDD... I uninstalled Windows 3.11 so I could fit more games to it.
