Therefore taking the formula P = V^2/R; when R Decreases, P increases, so when you increase the voltage of the cpu and making the cpu become hotter (V increases implies P increases), you are also varying the resistance wich makes the cpu become hotter even more.

hope that you understood my poor physics
The Problem is that what you're saying applies to non ohmic conductors. The CPU isn't a simple "conductor" so I doubt if the rule will hold there.
