as it says 

you can't, and you shouldn't want to, because macs are already clocking their CPU's lower than they are design to run at, simply because they get way too hot, source:

CPU: not sure.

GPU: probably, possibly. If you bootcamp Windows on it and OC it with afterburner or something. But that OC will not be in your OSX probably.

Buuuuut...:

I remember when my school had macs I spent like half the class period trying to overclock them and ruin them but I couldn't do it.
