I have just bought a coolermaster hyper evo 212 and i would like to overclock my AMD a10-5800k. I also have a 650 ti boost in the system so im not using the iGPU. As for my mother board i am using a asrock fm2a75m-dgs. I am a noob when it comes to overclocking. Is there anything i should be concerned about when overclocking besides the CPU temps. Could i push this thing to 4.4GHz. I read online that if your motherboard's vrm's dont have a heatsink on them you could overheat them and break it.

You can almost always find overclocking guides if you search on Google. It also helps if you know how to get to the overclocking settings on the motherboard.

I know how to get to get to the settings im just worried i will fry something on my motherboard because its a cheaper board

I wouldn't overclock more than 100-150Mhz on a board with no VRM heatsinks.

I overclocked my a8-5600k on a $50 motherboard, and it's at 4.8Ghz. The best way to overclock on some boards is usually in the Bios
