Default D 805 Overclocking to 4 Ghz?

When you find a report of ANY Intel CPU 'burning out' because of
overclocking, please post the news here. Raising the CPU core voltage too
high will 'burn out' a CPU, but instantly. But that is another issue.


It's also a crock of ****. E.g. P4 Northwoods overvolted past 1.7V
could croak in a day, week, month or year. Rarely "instantly".
