You mean over clocking? This is only used by performance enthusiasts and at the consumer level at best with an
unlocked CPU you will only get a 14% speed improvement* over stock clock speeds with an
exceptionally good air cooling solution.
The risk of system instability and hardware damage - let us not forget the possibility of reducing your CPU to elemental carbon is too great for such a small gain.
* and that is with some generous rounding. Not all motherboards support overclocking and HP PCs are built on the conservative side.
