The second point is that by using a heater, during startup only, you can reduce the die to package delta T's. Once the die is powered, then power down the heater.

The entire package is at the same temp as the core (since they're in direct physical contact), so I don't see what the heater is supposed to accomplish besides preventing you from POSTing while overclocked.

Just trying to point out the disadvantages for turning this thing off, not trying to be hostile. Most of these packages are not really evaluated for less than -25 usage/cycling.

I don't think anyone who is OCing really cares what the rated tolerances are. If they did, they wouldn't be doing this in the first place. Experimentally this has been shown to not be an issue.
