But without joking around.

It can give you a slightly FPS boost but nothing very well noticeable.

You might be better of OC'ing your GPU's instead.

not really frames are created in the GPU, so I cant see why OCing a cpu would make lots of difference, it wont hurt to do it still ~:S

Are YOU high? Off course Overclocking a CPU can make a difference. Check out this benchmark of the Witcher 2. Same CPU but only different clock speeds. Notice the difference in fps?

It off course depends on the game but you'll notice a performance increase in most games.

I didn't mean for it to sound insulting, but it was bad advise.

not neccerily, yes of Couse it will make a small difference, but its not gonna be a an insane amount of better, different games will react differently.
