At the present moment, not much.  The actual rating is stamped on
the top of the chip, but many have heatsinks glued onto the top.
But Intel have not been ignoring the problem.  Come the newer
generation of VRM rated chips it will be impossible to over-clock
as the motherboard will ask the CPU what speed it wants to run at
and configure itself accordingly.  This is good news for some, but
not for those who wish to over-clock their CPU's.
