in simple terms overclocking means to make something run faster. i had a 1800mhz (1.8ghz) cpu but instead of buying a new one i just overclocked it to 2200mhz(2.2ghz) why did i overclock it, cas for me it wont affect my processors life span/ make it not last as long and because my motherboard can overclock it safely and not over do it.
as for what others say about it not doing much, yah i dont see any difference besides in some games but that is rare.
