Overvolting the component and sending more current to any transistor tends to speed it up, though at the cost of severely more watts used.

Overclocking is often a combination of overvolting (leading to more amps), allowing you to increase clock speeds.

As they say, "the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long", or, in this case, "the transistor that runs at thrice the voltage runs for about 1.3 seconds"
