Overclocking

Ok, this is a very noobie question, but don't laugh I know quite a bit about the software side of pc's but not the herdware.

So, here it is, what is overclocking?
 
Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher frequency than the manufacturer's specification. Although there are many different reasons for overclocking, the most popular one is to increase hardware performance. Overclocking can result in system instability and sometimes even hardware failure if done carelessly.
