Bill - Re: "Can you not overclock safely for heat reasons by using active or extra coolling to keep the actual die temperature within spec, or within an allowable excess?. " You can do all those things but first you should ask yourself why the CPU manufacturer puts a given "Mhz" number on the chip in the first place. Are you suggesting that the CPUs be shipped without speed specifications - sort of let the use run them at whatever clock speed he so chooses? Do you plug your refrigerator into a 220 volt socket in the hopes that you can turn it into a freezer? Sound like a good idea? Paul
