Hi, yesterday i tried to overclock my cpu slightly, after clicking save and exit my pc don't boot . I know i have to clear cmos, but i don't know how to do that. I don't want to break anything, and I'm pretty new in pc community. I found the clear cmos inscription on the board but i don't know what to do next.

Unplug everything external like a keyboard or the power plug etc. Then either short that jumper or take out the battery for 5-10 minutes.

Short those pins out with a screwdriver, you will have to remove the power plug from the PSU before you do it though.
