I am, but if you have any sort of warranty, i would advise against it. I'd also advise against it if the cpu you're using wasn't built for it, IE Intels. Get an AMD and you can overclock the heck out of them.
It's best to watch a furball collapse, analyzing the movements of the enemy. Watch how they maneuver, when they fire, how they break. Visualize your own attacks against those observations, then go in for the kill. Sometimes, though, you don't get that advantage. It's at these times where you go in guns blazing, but keep your head on a swivel.

Never had a need to do so myself. Probably won't start either. No point tinkering when there isn't a need to, in my case at least.

be very VERY carefull when tinkering with the clocks. liquid cooling is your friend if you become a serious overclocker though.

Hobovu, unless you've got a spare $1,000 I wouldn't worry about over-clocking. Honestly its not worth it. The costs definitely out-weigh the benefits.

Your computer runs a certain way, with certain hardware for a reason. If every chip in your computer could process 300x more information and 300x more power than it currently is, without any trouble, short-term or long-term, it would have come set-up and running that way already.
Just my 2¢
