Hm, I was going to comment on this being obvious but, it kind of isn't from the wording. Hmm. I should look into that.

Aaaanyway, don't worry, it's overriding the emulated CPU clock rate, not your PC's CPU clock rate! Dolphin cannot overclock your CPU. In fact, if you raise the number up, Dolphin demands more of your system!

ah so basically it does 0 harm at all right?

to your host computer.

It will screw with emulation accuracy though and break many games.

Don't touch it unless explicitly told to.

Honestly, it doesn't break as many games as you'd expect. There are of course edge-cases, but, it's no more damaging than higher IRs and whatnot in most cases.
