How to Overclock without needing advanced skills but using AMD overdrive?
Check out the AMD overdrive page at http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/sof...over-drive. However, doing it improperly might cause underclocking in certain system parts and could lead to boot issues, requiring you to reset CMOS and start fresh.
A better alternative to boost performance is installing MSI Afterburner and adjusting your graphics card settings.

Using it this way will show screen artifacts, but adjusting slightly should resolve the problem.

Using GUI tools for CPU overclocking isn't the best approach. You'll get better outcomes by making manual changes in the BIOS.
There seems to be a lot of information available online—many guides can assist users in understanding what's required for overclocking.
