Basically there's only two reasons to overclock: 1. You find it fun. This is the major reason. People like doing the experimentation and work. 2. You really need that tiny bit of extra performance but can't upgrade your hardware, because you can't afford it or some other reason (compatibility, company won't approve upgrades, etc.). I've done overclocking in the past because of the first reason. Only know one person who did it because of the second. It's become much less common now, what with modern PC components being so powerful.
