This is an article for overclockers which explores
the age old question; "How does cooling affect Overclocking?" In an
enthusiasts attempt to reach higher clock speeds, there will eventually come a
time when the temperature of the processor, memory, or some other electrical
component becomes the limiting factor. This is commonly known, of course, and is
the prime reason why enthusiasts rarely if ever overclock with the stock
heatsink AMD or Intel provide - it's simply not designed to handle the extra
thermal load.
