yea but exactly wat does overclocking do for your computer perfomance wise? From what Im reading It is adjusting the time in your taskbar to a couple of hours ahead will make my computer run faster? I dont get it.

They are just kidding aout the time in the taskbar.
Overclocking usually makes your computer run faster. More clocks per second.
