HeLloyd,

I learned a little about overclocking on google, but still don't really understand.

Is it a way I can make my computer faster? My current processor speed is 2.71ghz can overclocking make it run faster?

Thanks,
It is a intel I5 6th generation

Overclocking is basically making your CPU or GPU faster than the manufacturers specs. This will make it run faster, but be sure you look very, very, very closely and follow a credited guide on doing it. It can ruin internals if you're not safe.
Computer Specs (One Final Update - Wednesday, June 8th, 2022):
16" MacBook Pro
[Processor] M1 Pro
[RAM] 32GB 6400MHz LPDDR5
[Storage] 1TB PCIE Gen. 4 NVMe
[Graphics] 16-core integrated GPU

To the good times.

Peace.

Hmm... I would love to try it, but I doubt I'll do it correctly. I'll probably hold off

I remember your motherboard from a different topic. It does not support Overclocking.
