An example method comprises establishing, via a first data communication interface of a first computing device, a physical connection to between the first computing device and a second computing device. The method also includes receiving, at the first computing device, input data via a second data communication interface of the first computing device. The method further includes controlling an operation at the first computing device based on the input data when the input data is received prior to establishing the connection. The method further includes routing the input data to the second computing device via an input data switch of the first computing device when the input data is received after establishing the connection.

A method of automatic overclocking of a silicon part or chip, such as a central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed. A range of clock frequencies of both the CPU and a cache of a computer system are tested, with parameters being monitored, safety limits of the computer system being ensured, and benchmark tests being run, before arriving at a CPU and cache frequencies based on a selected benchmark score.
