What the video the other guys sent but basically it can make the parts of your pc faster at the cost of less energy efficiency and your components will generate more heat

OK THANKS

Basically you are increasing the clock speed of your CPU's cores. This will make it work alot faster but you should be warned- this can cause additional heat in your system

so I should add extra fans

and a better CPU cooler

what cpu cooler do you have now ? BTW at stock you can probably get away with overclocking as long as you don't add extra voltage.

[hunterak1]
