      what exactly does it do if i put in on overcolck .
      arm_freq - speed of the ARM core ?
      core_freq - speed of GPU processor core ?
      gpu_freq - speed of all GPU components ?
      sdram_freq - speed of SDRAM ?
      sdram_schmoo - a set of SDRAM timings ?
      is it related to that ? or its by itself ?
      and if i wanna force turbo on what is the best over clock with it :)

            @shavecat force turbo overrides the CPU governor and applies your overclock all the time, even when your pi is idle. There is very little purpose in forcing turbo, it will shorten your Pi's life, create extra heat and use more power.

            You are better off changing the CPU governor to performance mode instead. My recommendation is leave force turbo alone. For now, I would also recommend leaving overclocking alone as well. It causes all sorts of issues of you don't know what you're doing. It's really for advanced users who know how to do proper stability testing. Based on some of your previous questions, you aren't yet proficient enough with your pi to delve into overclocking. I am saying this not to insult you but warn you that you might need to do some additional research/reading.
