I was going for the short version. I was referring to CPU heat generation going up with the square of the freqency. This is why raising the voltage is key to big overclocks. Sure.. at stock voltage there's a little play in the activation level of the transistors... but not much... if you raise the frequency more energy goes into heat, soon there's not enough energy left to run the chip and instablility insues.
Yeah yeah.. I know all the physics of this.. I'm going for the non-EE version.
