You need that only when you overclock the CPU speed above the default one and the system is instable ...
Because sometimes the CPU will fail to operate stably at higher speeds without more voltage to cover this increase ..

It should be the last option to try coz it might damage the chip by rising the heat that the die produces, and it might fry without sufficient cooling ...
