ya when you see the vapochill guys running 2V on the NWs with no deaths or issues, I think it points to cooling (or motherboard issues) as well.

Are we not giving as much help to newcomers to overclocking as we used to? I seem to recall people way back in dark ages suggesting "add a fan" to my Pentium1 system's heatsink to aid in overclock. Now we just tell em "add voltage"?

Also kinda ironic that AMD users buy a $50 CPU and a $40 heatsink to match cause everyone KNOWS they burn up. Intel users buy $200 CPU and a $5 heatsink, and wonder what happened....
