Pros and Cons of overclocking?
Pros and Cons of overclocking?
Improved results compared to the base model (likely higher performance per euro than standard versions)
Potential drawbacks include increased heat generation and noise from the extra heat
Additional energy costs and possible instability if overclocking is pushed too far
May require higher component costs such as more expensive CPUs, better cooling systems, etc.

- Energy bill increases marginally
If "slightly" refers to $5 extra per year, it's accurate. Overclocking doesn't raise power use enough to noticeably impact your energy costs (unless you adjust the voltage levels).
