"Only a fool would buy one."...."Because it's outside the performances specifications where Intel guarantees it will work, and also beyond the conditions that Intel guarantees it will survive."

Nonsense, as usual. Intel guarantees the processors to work
at specified frequencies given their mass-manufacturable
stock air-cooling.
Intel does not say much about processor's functionality if it
is liquid-cooled (or cooled by other more exotic and expensive
means). Quite opposite, I vaguely recall some
bragging from Otellini that it could work just fine
at elevated frequencies with proper cooling.

It is well-known (and admitted by Intel) that last Pentium-4s
are thermally-limited. If you could knew some basics of
processor manufacturing, you would know that as long as
you manage the chip temperature within limits, you are
likely to be fully-functional at much higher frequencies
than those achieved at stock air cooling. And "survivability"
should not be of any bigger concern if you keep the
chip cool. I see nothing wrong if
some other engineering house conducted a validation
work for a processor under their proprietary cooling
conditions, found the systems fully functional, and
sells them for profit.
