Detailed explanation-1: -Underclocking is used to reduce a computer’s power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system’s stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility. Underclocking may be implemented by the factory, but many computers and components may be underclocked by the end user.
Detailed explanation-2: -Underclocking refers to lowering your processor’s frequency. While this does usually result in lower temperatures and power draw, it doesn’t actually do anything good for your computer’s performance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overclocking involves the CPU’s clock rate above its manufacturer-specified default rate, and underclocking reduces the clock rate. The clock rate controls the amount of cycles the CPU performs each second, which affects the CPU’s performance. Underclocking and overclocking have advantages and disadvantages.
