When I OC'd my i5 2500k to 4.4Ghz from 3.3Ghz, my fps stayed exactly the same, but my overall cpu utilization went down from 35% to 25%. My Radeon 6970 gpu utilization stayed the same at around 70%.

So no, I would not expect overclocking to do anything, based on my experience.

Interestingly, if I set affinity for Wildstar to only two cores, my utilization goes up quite a bit on just those cores to like 60% each, but the fps remains the same. If I set the affinity to just 1 core, the utilization goes to like 90% on that core but the game takes a big hit in fps and the sound starts to stutter constantly.
