Overclocking is SAFE as long as you know and understand what you are doing. Cooling is the key to great overclocks. It is the HEAT that damages a processor even if not overclocked. Here's my idol's great overclock on exotic cooling:

Running a CPU, video card, or other component faster than its rated speed, by forcing a CPU to run at a higher clock speed than listed on the manufacturers specification. Overclocking a CPU increases its performance, although it can result in system instability and may cause damage to the CPU.
Basically it's like driving a car in gear 1 and flooring it and seeing how fast you go, and revving the engine until it is knackered out.

If you have to ask that question, I'd just forget about it and leave it alone.
