Problem: Write an article based on this summary: IMPORTANT, before doing this, make sure your GPU "can" be overclocked, as many are factory locked. Overclocking your GPU is running the graphics card beyond the factory setting. Download free benchmarking and analytics software. Run the Heaven 4.0 benchmark. Set Resolution to System. Click Run. Click Benchmark. Write down your score. Download a GPU tweaking tool. Open the software that you have chosen. Raise the core clock by 5 to 10 MHz. Click Apply. Click Save. Repeat the over clocking process. Set your new frequency. Play through a game.

Answer: If not, skip to the next section. This is a potentially damaging method to improve your gaming performance and therefore all precautions should be taken into account. To do this, you should determine the baseline from which your graphics card is currently running. One of the more popular options is the Heaven 4.0 benchmark. This will prompt the settings menu to appear. You may change some of the other settings if you have the tech know-how, but if you are working with a lower-end card, it is recommended that you refrain from adjusting too much. This will prompt Heaven to play through a series of scene that are designed to test the capability of your device's performance. It may glitch but this is normal. This can be found in the upper left-hand corner of your screen and it will prompt Heaven to go through 26 scenes to test your GPU's performance abilities. Once the test is complete, a window will appear with your graphics card's score. Write this down so that you can compare it with your score after overclocking it. You can find these for free online and some popular options are MSI's Afterburner and EVGA'S PrecisionX software. Make sure that the clocks entitles Core Clock and Shader Clock are connected. You can check to see if your changes were applied by going to GPU-Z and seeing if it matches. You may be prompted to save your settings. Do so and assign a profile. One of two things will occur: either Heaven will run without any problems and you may increase your MHz by 5 to 10, or you graphics card will crash. You can tell that your GPU has crashed if you start to see black glitches, blotches, or bright stars on the screen. This means that your overclock has become unstable and you need to either lower you MHz. You will also want to keep an eye on the temperature of your computer. If it gets too hot, you may risk frying your hardware. After you have found the correct frequency for your graphics card, restart your computer. Some overclocking software will prompt you to set the changes you've made. To really make sure you've found the right frequency, play though a graphics intensive game and see how it runs.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plug in your iron and flick the switch to "on. Separate your hair into several sections. Place the straightener as close to the roots as possible. Clamp the iron down. Run the flat iron down the length of your section of hair. Run the straightener over the section up to 2-3 times. Move the straightened piece out of the way and unclip a new section of hair.

Answer: " There will also be a numbered heat setting near the "on" switch that you can adjust to your desired heat level. The thicker and frizzier your hair, the higher the numbered setting should be. If your hair is particularly thin and brittle make sure to set your straightener to the lowest number to avoid damaging your hair. The number of sections will depend on the thickness of your hair. The key is to make sections one to two inches thick so that they can easily pass through the straightener. Pin or clip the sections you are not using out of the way as you straighten each individual section. An easy way to do this is to pin all of the sections that you are not using on the top of your head or behind your shoulders. Then take each individual section in front of your shoulder to straighten it. However, don't burn yourself. This will usually mean that your straightener will start about 1 inch (2.5cm) from your scalp if your hair is straight. For curly or textured hair, you should get the flat iron closer than 1 inch (2.5cm) so that your roots won't remain curly. Go slowly so that you don't burn yourself. The heated sides should touch, with your hair resting between them. Be sure not to clamp too firmly, as this will create a ridge in the top of the hair section where you start straightening. Additionally, be sure not to hold the flat iron in the same spot for too long, as doing so will also cause a ridge to form in your hair. Your motion should be a fluid and steady sweep from the roots to the ends. The most important part of this technique is that you don't hold the straightener in any one place for too long. Doing so can damage your hair and create undesirable folds. Stop as soon as your hair is straight, but don't do more than 3 passes, as this will damage your hair. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you may only have to do this once, or you may have to run the straightener over a section of hair several times. Smaller sections of hair will make it easier to get your hair straight with fewer passes. Keep your sections to smaller than .5 inches (1.3cm). The strength of your flat iron will also determine how many times you will have to run over a particular section of hair. The lower the heating setting on the flat iron, the more times you will have to run your straightener over a particular section of hair. Set your temperature at about 300 degrees. If you have textured or curly hair, you may have to set it higher. Don't be alarmed if you see steam rising from the flat iron. Steam occurs as a result of the hot ceramic making contact with any leftover moisture in your hair. If you start to smell burning hair, however, turn down the heat setting on the flat iron immediately. It is generally easiest to move around your head from one side to the other rather than taking random chunks so that you can easily separate the straightened chunks from the non-straightened ones. You may need to brush each section before straightening it if it got tangled while pinned. If your hair is prone to frizz, apply a hairspray or setting serum to each section immediately after you straighten it. Avoid getting any product on sections of hair that you have not straightened yet. The product can negatively interfere with the straightening process, causing damage to your hair or to your flat iron.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bake them. Drill holes.

Answer:
No matter what kind of beads, pendants, or discs you made, they must be finished with baking. This will set the clay so that the beads maintain the shapes and designs you've created. Always preheat your oven before baking, and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding baking times and temperatures. To bake your beads, you can: Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the beads on a length of firm, straight wire. Then, suspend the wire from an oven-safe baking dish and bake the beads like that. Once your baking time is up, remove the beads from the oven and allow them to cool completely before handling them. In case you chose not to poke holes in your beads before baking, now's the time to create the holes. Work with each bead individually. Hold a bead steady on a hard surface with your thumb and forefinger. With your other hand, use the drill to carefully drill a hole through the center of the bead.
