Is it true that Overclocking a processor increases the heat it produces?
Yes. A reference article on overclocking states that operating at higher frequencies and voltages increases power consumption and heat, and a physics explainer and a processor power-dissipation article both describe faster clock rates raising energy use dissipated as heat.
