So I just want to ask how do I overclock my HP 14s-DK0008AX
It is Amd A9 3.1 Ghz and in the hp official website it says can be tuned to 3.6 Ghz. how do you do that. And how can I control my fan speed thanks

Overclocking any PC is a risky thing to do, and overclocking a laptop is a really BAD idea! You have to turn up the voltage, that will generate a LOT more heat, and that risks a thermal crash of the processor. Which will burn out your PC and turn it into an electric brick.
This violates the HP warranty terms and, as a result, no one here will assist you in this.

You're confusing two very different situations.
The first is whether or not a particular model CPU can be overclocked -- and that is something set by the manufacturer. Some are "locked" and others are "unlocked" -- and only the second type can be overclocked. This is what is mean by saying the "spec" of the CPU indicates it can be overclocked.
The second is whether or not you SHOULD overclock a processor in a particular situation. In a desktop, where you can swap in a much more power CPU fan to keep things cool, or even resort to liquid cooling, and there is more internal space for the heat to dissipate, then overclocking is more commonplace and not so risky. In a laptop, where you can NOT put in a more powerful fan and you can NOT use liquid cooling, the existing fan is already struggling to keep the processor and system temps down -- and overclocking pushes these into dangerous levels.

You're entirely missing the point --which I am tired of repeating over and over.
You should NOT be attempting to overclock a laptop. Period. IF you do this, you risk a thermal crash that can destroy the processor.
I am DONE discussing this-- since you are not heeding my advice. You are on your own.
