Hi,
Most overclocking is done on home computers.
It is where you tell the device to increase the frequency of the processor.
In home computers, you do that in the BIOS, or CMOS settings, prior to booting 
to the operating system.
Just like with physical friction, by increasing the frequency, you increase the 
heat generated, so in overclocked computers, people will add extra fans for 
more cooling.
I’m not sure how much hotter devices like phones and tablets get when 
overclocked, but I’m sure it’s noticeable at any rate.
But by increasing the frequency (overclocking), you make the device run faster, 
thus perform better.
If you google the word overclock, you will undoubtedly find a Wikipedia page 
that explains it better than I.

HTH.

Gary,
I still haven’t installed a custom ROM onto my Galaxy S3 phones, and I am 
interested in overclocking too.
Do you have some advice from a Blindness perspective?
Thanks.

My primary device is an older nexus 4 with custom rooted apps as well its 
overclocked 2 ghwith a custom kernal which improves the performance of the 
device comparable to anything out there. Till I can find a device that I like.
