Best Answer

In general, the average computer user would not know enough about the computer to safely over-clock it. They would be more likely to overheat or kill components of their systems than to get any noticeable benefit. Also, often computers straight from the manufacturers do not come with a heatsink (internal fan) that would be strong enough to effectively cool the processor if it were to be overclocked.
