Overheating is a separate problem.  It can be a consequence of overclocking,
and overheating can cause errors, but that's not the only reason why an
overclocked device goes wrong. If the logic can't respond fast enough to
have the right data at the output when the next clock pulse arrives, there
will be errors, simply because the internal logic can't move fast enough (at
any temperature).
