i don't think anyone said anything about overclocking... what was said was that
running the CPU at full usage with no idle time brings the heat up to the point
where a fan is needed...

so here's the deal, CPUs spend roughly 90+% of their time waiting on something
to do... tools like BOINC and distributed.net are designed specifically to take
advantage of that idle time and to use it to the CPUs full power... in other
words, there is zero idle time because they are using all of it...
