The concept is simple. Make your computer go faster than its rated for. The risk is also simple, the faster it goes the hotter it gets. If it gets too hot, it dies permanently. Fortunately, theres a built in safety feature. Before it gets hot enough to die, it will stop working, and at that point you clock it down a bit. In general, you wont cause permanent damage if your careful, and if you arent going to be careful dont do it at all.
