Naw the AMD is great for the overclocker, he just pushes it a bit much. I've never had a cpu from amd or intel burn out on me. Rather never had one burn out that had a heatsink on it. I did have an old 1 ghz t-bird that the heatsink had come loose on and it burned out at 100 degrees C. But I've had my XP2100 and XP1600 up to 72 c and the CPU still works, but thats about the limit.
