I think he was referring to the chip still operating 'normally' at 150 degrees (and he probably meant Fahrenheit ), since AMD chips, and possibly Intels (although I have no experience after 6th Gen), are spec'd to operate at such a temp. Obviously, most chips don't operate both hot and OC'd. If that's the case, you haven't OC'd it far enough.
