No, although I wish I was. I think when you start overclocking, you will 
try until you fail, just curious how much the cpu can reach.

I use sensors-detect and it asks me to use the modules f71882fg but my 
kernel 2.6.23 do not have it. Searching the linux source directory and 
only f71805f was found. Googling shows 2.6.24 has this driver. Hmm, I 
will try this new kernel this weekend.

Thanks,
