overclocking is speeding up the item to above stock. You can compare it to making a racecar out of a stock ford escort. It is done by turning up the voltage and (err something else) to make say a 2.0gig CPU to run at 2.4gig for instance. This will cause more heat and you typically need better cooling to overcome it..like water cooling.
Overclocking some things may wear them out earlier than normal also.

i guess i wont do that because ive alreade have some pverheating problems with a sector, that i thik that is the graphic card because it only overheats while im playin, and one more question, what is the highest temperature a pc can support, because this thing is getting arround 50âºc-53âºc (celsius), is that serious?
