Overclocker Upgrade

The Overclocker Upgrade is one of the four Industrial Craft 2 machine upgrades. It speeds up a machine's ability to process material, at the cost of higher EU consumption. Every Overclocker Upgrade placed in a machine reduces the number of game ticks required to complete an operation (such as macerating an ore block or smelting a block of Wood) by about 70%, but increases the machine's EU draw per-tick by about 60%. Machines cannot be made more efficient past one operation per-tick.

Efficiency of Stacked Overclocker Upgrades
Below are a series of tables and graphs that detail the increase in speed and increase in EU consumption as the number of Overclocker Upgrades made available to a machine increases. Note that, while the ticks per operation tapers off gradually, the EU consumption per-tick increases exponentially.
