the dark art of overclocking

[rob.]

Pentium 4's do not explode. The just smoke up and burn.

In fact, i believe the AMD one is fake aswell.

They don't even do that. In fact, they don't suffer any damage at all.

u sure? i mean if you took that 11ghz P4 and removed all cooling, wouldnt it take some damage from all the heat??

You will never get a P4 past 6ghz, not even if you did this:

Ahem. Click Here.

It's entirely in Japanese, so you may want to run it through Babelfish or Google Translator.

That's almost always the case. The only exception would be due to excessive voltage, which is an extreme case that you would never encounter in real life (no, those people who do stuff like overclock on LN2 live in their own little worlds).
