Yes, it is risky...for the most part.

If you use a windows based overclocking utility it is a lot safer than going in to your BIOS. You should avoid changing any voltage settings unless you have water cooling and you should keep an eye on your temps after overclocking to make sure they are safe.

If you are interested in trying, let me know what cpu/MB you have. Also some cpu's do not allow overclocking.

you are asking clocking related to seo or related to computer?

Overclocking is great, but it does come with a few risks. They aren’t nearly as high as they used to be, given the relative ease of modern overclocking, but they’re risks to be considered nonetheless.

When overclocking, what we’re doing is increasing the multiplier on the CPU, allowing it to run faster. The higher we clock the CPU, the higher voltage the CPU will require, which will thus produce more heat.

Heat is the main concern of CPUs, and too much heat can lead to a shorter lifespan for the chip. Generally speaking, once you’re CPU is consistently running at above 86 degrees Celsius, you’re starting to get into the danger zone. Temperatures like that certainly won’t kill your CPU immediately, but it could overall lower the functional lifespan.

Yes you can do overclocking. But more overclocking can harm your pc. so , keep this in your mind.

Frequent overclocking will damage the CPU performance and reduce the service span. Overall, there is a risk when running a server terminal, overclocking on PC is occasionally available in a short period of time under specific settings.

Yes, overclocking should definitely be done under control.
If you're doing it once in a while, it should be okay, but it shouldn't become your standard mode of operation, lest you want your CPU to last less than a year. And, of course, make sure you're always there to check the temperatures when you're going into overclock mode, if you leave for a little while, or if it happens automatically when you're not around, your computer can overheat while you're not here to react.
