Most OEMs BIOSs do not allow for this type of modification.
Your CPU's clock sped can be adjusted from the BIOS, but it is not recommended to do so because it can cause permanent damage to the CPU, RAM or the motherboard due to various reasons like overheating, unsupported clock speed etc.
you go in to BIOS. How ? when you start up you PC Before windows bootup you press delete or f11-f9 it differs for every motherboard but Del is the most common. And you find it in one of the settings most likley under advanced bios or frequency.
It is possible to under clock the CPU through the system BIOS. this slows the CPU, but helps protect from heat damage. Some types of software applications can also change the clock.
A desktop computer can be "over clocked" by increasing either the core CPU speed or CPU multiplier frequency to something greater than what the chip is rated for. This can be done in the BIOS of supported motherboards.
If you want to get info about your system's BIOS, then type this command wmic bios get name,serialnumber,version This will tells you the name if your BIOS, current version and it's serial number if there is any. wmic csproduct get name,identifyingnumber,uuid This command will tell you the system motherboard (that happen to be the name) and it's UUID wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed If you want to quickly find out what's the CPU clock speed, you can do the following, also if you have turbo boost CPUs you can find out what's the Max Clock Speed your system is capable of for the current configuration. Of course you can always overclock your CPU and that will too reflect the change. wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed /every:1
It determines the speed at which the CPU operates.
It depends on what you are using to overclock your CPU. If you use some kind of software, then it's reasonable because overclocking parameters are valid only when windows (or what ever you have) is running. Also new processors use so called speed stepping technology which allows cpus to change its multiplier and bus speed. When CPU is idling, for instance, when you are checking BIOS setting its decrease power consumption, when you start CPU-z it automatically increase the speed and multiplier.
The fastest CPU clock speed is typically associated with the CPU itself, as it operates at speeds measured in gigahertz (GHz). The front-side bus (FSB) is slower than the CPU clock speed, and while RAM speeds can vary, they generally do not exceed CPU speeds. USB 3.0 is designed for data transfer and operates at up to 5 Gbps, which is not directly comparable to CPU clock speeds. Therefore, the CPU has the highest clock speed among these components.
Multiplying the clock is used today to make CPUs faster. The motherboard has a system clock that is slower than the CPU. In order to make CPUs faster they now use a multiplier. For instance if your motherboard speed is 200MHz and the CPU has a 2x multiplier then the CPU runs at 400MHz (2 x 200MHz). Some multipliers are as high as 10x. You would have to check either your BIOS are the manufactorer Web site for your CPU to see how much of a multiplier you have in your CPU. Some systems allow you to manipulate the CPU clock bu making it run faster than it is supposed to, this is called overclocking your CPU and is used mostly by games who want the most speed out of there system.

jumper that set the cpu speed or reset the BIOS memory
