I would not overclock unless I had some decent cooling. Get better cooling for your case (ex: new case with more fans, liquid cooling, etc.), and then overclock.

just take a look at your bios, if the temps aren't too bad already, try overclocking, but pay attention to those temps. and don't worry about something melting, as long as you keep an eye on how hot stuff is getting you're fine, especially if you have that overheater thing on the mobo, it'll shut your pc off immediatly

more cooling is always better....
