Question regarding computer overclocking

I notice that when people attempt to overclock their Computer processing speed through BIOS, they will adjust the ratio per MHz. They also need to adjust the voltage of the power supplies too, to avoid the temperature rising too high, and burn the chip. But how would you know what voltage level you should adjust too, up or down? I intended to overclock my PC too, but I just don't know the voltage part. Any advise from here?

I bought a new pc because i was updating bios and i destroyed it and one person wrote "Don't try to repair something that is not broken" and i learned my lesson. Be careful if you try overclocking and be prepared to buy new pc. Don't have any idea about voltage but monitor temperatures with programs like speedfan(free) and cool computer down somehow. Also some motherboards come with software that overclocks your pc after restart so check if there is such software for your motherboard because that would probably be the safest way. Hope i gave you some ideas. Good luck
