O/C on XP 3000+ - No hotter?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

How come when I overclock my XP 3000+ from 2.1GHz to 2.4GHz it doesn't
run any hotter?

CPU is at 47deg, 53deg under load.

Or is my motherboard lying to me?

Yep. CPU power is more or less proportional to MHz, but to the *square*
of the voltage.

How would I know? It's built into the bios.
