AMD cpus run hotter than INTEL cpus do, so you don't have to overclock anything at all to burn up an AMD processor, or even an INTEL, just remove the cooling fan, so the CPUs have to be kept below their thermal burnout threshold. Each CPU has a different Burnout threshold and operating temperatures that they perform well in and stay stable in, when they approach the burnout threshold they begin to malfunction and become unstable. The higher temps you run your processor at the shorter lifespan the CPU will probably have, but however there are always exceptions to the rule, as some of the posters here at Toms claim.
