What cpu cooler do you have?

You can OC a little bit on the i3 with a stock cooler.

 

Yes you can overclock.

Get an ASRock or MSI board for it.

No issues if done correctly

Outcome is around 10-15FPS more if paired with 2400Mhz + ram

Does it affect the life and temperature and other similar things of the processor

Overclocking effects temperatures on every CPU, yes though as long as they stay below like 80C or even 85C you'll be fine. You either fry your CPU or you don't.

Life of it won't be reduced either, and if it is, won't be enough. You'll have a new CPU before it dies more than likely unless like a crappy PSU

Well I think I'm gonna use it at the base clock of 3.70 mhz

That's also good??
