This is not the only clue. Overclocked system may die not only due to the 
heat. These systems are mostly running out of their electrical specifications. 
Hence an overclocked system cannot be reliable for longer times.

I disagree. If an overclocked system runs with win95 successfully (this means: 
without failures as long as the system is overclocked) and doesn't run with 
any other OS, this system is not useful, because Win95 may fail, too.

Hence I would never overclock a computer system. If the present computer works 
to slow, I would purchase a better one.
