Cons
* Can shorten the life of the cpu if not done correctly
* Can be unstable if not done correctly resulting in blue screens

Pros
* Nearly free performance
* Some games will see a large fps increase (dayz)
* A great way to learn new things, like what bclk and a multiplier are

Dayz on my rig at stock vs overclocked to 4.6 is about 12fps.
