Hello, I have a 785GT-E63
Yes i'm ugprading the whole PC in feb.

Anyways, I was installing some ram and replacing thermal paste, i noticed a button about overclocking, looked at my mobo site it said the following;

''Every user desires more performance. MSI has special Easy OC Switches to provide that accessibility to all users. This great technology makes it easier to tweak the core clock settings. There's no need to have a detailed understanding; with just a few simple steps, everyone is able to get the most out of their motherboards. With a single click, the whole system will increase by 5%-20% performance, making overclocking a very easy thing to do.''

So is this true? Will this switch really affect my computer? Will thermal paste help keep temps low if I overlock it to 50%
