According to this:

power (and therefore heat) increases linearly with frequency, and with
the square of the voltage.

So a CPU operating at 150% of rated speed (but same voltage) produces
1.5 times as much heat.

A CPU operating at 150% of rated voltage (if that's possible) produces
2.25 times as much heat.

Please note that's heat generated, which doesn't translate directly to chip temperature. That depends entirely on your cooling system, and a stock cooling system can handle a lot of heat. If you'll note, your article is talking about temperatures in the range of 50-75 degrees *centigrade*, which is 120-170 degrees.

My CPU fully loaded is running at 26C (about 78F), which is the *lowest* temperature in that whole article.

He makes a good point though: "It should be your objective, overclocking or not, to run your systems at the lowest possible temperature." And that I heartily concur with. The lowest possible temperature, of course, being a business decision, not an absolute one <smile>.
