Well, not necessarily. It has been proven that these chips are not performing at their peak and to overclock it just means that you are getting its full potential. You're right regarding going overboard and frying your chip BUT that said if you're not trying to double your speed then it should be safe. I've left it at 400MHZ and it's purring along just fine (knock on wood). With the ArcticSilver3 and the heatsink fan, I've gotten the temperature down to about an average of 28C -- it actually starts at 20C and rises to about the 32C mark once I've run several apps for about several hours. Actually the highest it has ever hit was about 40C and that was when I was using iMovie3 for awhile rendering footage, transitions, titles, etc. while listening to iTunes and having Entourage open. -- Words to live by: "Ok brain, I don't like you and you don't like me, so let's get this over with and I'll continue to drown you with beer."
