re: I find it amazing that you conclude that without knowing anything about the power dissipation of that part

Show me where Intel ever gave us the power dissipation of the 3GHz Clovertown. Was the Phenom heatsink this big? (Mac Pro)


As for "overvolting":

"The more observant amongst you will have already noted that the vcore is higher than any of other core 2 processors at this point, this in turn has increased the thermal output to around 150w for this particular model. Slower cpus in the series such as the X5355 at 2.66ghz produce around 120w."

"Around 150w" -- why is he guessing?
