The AMD Phenom 9600 series of computer processors are central processing units used in desktop PC models. The AMD Phenom 9600 is commonly used in conjunction with the ASUS 590 SLI motherboard. Overclocking a computer system speeds up the computer's components past their normal speed levels. Changing the system's BIOS settings overclocks both the AMD Phenom 9600 CPU and ASUS 590 motherboard. The downside to overclocking a system is the excess heat put off by the overclocked components, which may damage other computer components.
