This might sound like a dumb question but, how do you do it, is it an option in the games themselves or what? I know that overclocking is supposed to give you better performance but at the result of higher temperatures, but is there more to it than this. I just want to know how to overclock because I actually do have a CPU cooler that I think can definitely help keep temperature down.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570K

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes (RR-B10-212P-G1)
