Shit no, don't do this. The only fix is to run the cpu at it's rated speed and voltage. I could never understand people that try to squeeze a usually insignificant (say 10%) processor performance increase when in the majority of cases other bottle necks usually dominate speed. Ever heard of hot spots, and the Arrhenius relationship? Cheers, Mark
