I supppose, if one was running a 1.8G P4 at 3.7G one *might* be worried
about temperature. In fact, that's about the only reason people use this and
similar utilities. I used to use Rain to keep a AMD K2 350 running at
500Mhz. It's amazingly effective. It would take 20 deg off the CPU temp in
a few minutes. A little-known use is to conserve batteries in a laptop.
All that heat comes from somwhere! - your battery.
As to the OP, you might try one of the hardware NGs or search Google for
overclocking.
