Increasing the voltage is one of the so-called "overclocking" of processors. Thus, productivity gains of 10-15 percent can be achieved. To change the voltage parameters, you can use the built-in capabilities of the motherboard, or special programs.

Instructions
Step 1
Turn on the computer and after the motherboard start screen appears, press the Del button on the keyboard (depending on the motherboard) to enter the BIOS. If you can't log into the I / O system the first time, try again. Go to the Power Bios Setup or Power Management Setup section (the name of this item also depends on the motherboard, look for a similar one). Set the Vcore Voltege parameter to +0.1 (in the range 0.1-0.3) or increase the voltage in percent or manually specify the required voltage.
Step 2
Install a more powerful cooler on your processor. Be prepared that an increase in voltage will lead to a change in the thermal characteristics of the processor itself. If you don't provide sufficient cooling, you run the risk of damaging the processor due to overheating. It is also worth noting that the processor may become unusable at all and you will have to buy a new one.
Step 3
If voltage boost is not available in BIOS settings, use CrystalCPUID, AI Booster, EasyTune6 and others. Carefully read the instructions for these programs, as incorrectly set parameters can lead to damage to your computer. You can find all such software on special software portals.
Step 4
When overclocking your processor, do not forget that by doing so you reduce the service life of spare parts and risk voiding your warranty. The manufacturer provides for the operation of components in a certain mode and with certain parameters, so you go beyond the boundaries of these recommendations at your own peril and risk. If you do not understand anything about increasing the voltage, consult specialized services that deal with working with computers.
