Patent attributes
A clock tuning device and method for executing overclocking operations on plural elements disposed on a motherboard. The clock tuning device includes a phase-locked loop for outputting a plurality of clock signals to the elements, and a control circuit for controlling the phase-locked loop to adjust the frequencies of the clock signals, so as to execute the overclocking operations on the elements, respectively. The method includes the steps of: increasing the frequency of a first clock signal until one of the elements can't work normally due to an utmost frequency of the first clock signal; resetting all the elements and operating the element corresponding to the first signal according to a safe frequency of the first clock signal; and repeating the above steps to perform overclocking operation on each of the other elements.
