Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for managing overclocking in a data center includes determining a frequency limit of a first processor of a first server in the data center. The voltage of the first processor is lowered to a stability point, and the frequency is lowered. The first server is tested for stability. Based upon the results of the test, the voltage and frequency modifications are deployed to a second processor of a second server in the data center.
