How hot would tempatures get in an Intel Core i7 920 if you overclocked it to 4.8ghz with a D-TEK Fuzion V2?

Overclocking is not recommended for the i7 quad core because it's already having 4 processors on one die and there is direct access to memory (RAM) without the use of a northbridge chip. This leads to high levels of heat and overclocking very briefly achieved a rate of 5GHz by a Taiwanese company in 2008 that made each processor overclock by 133 MHz. However, it is NOT RECOMMENDED!Okay Jean V, go ahead and overclock it! Let me know when a fire starts in your house so I know to alert your flatmates!

overclocking also reduces the life of your chip to 1/3 lifeI will not overclock my I7 when I get it
