Just wanted to know what the principle heat producer is in P4s for a safe overclock.

I have a P4 1.5Ghz Overclocked to 1.8Ghz (nearly) 119 x 15 and the temperature is 38oC IDLE
and 56 FULL load. The Voltage is 1.9v. I am using standard HSF.

I dont want to risk burning my CPU out but Is it the Voltage that causes the heat
production or a High FSB.. without upping the voltage that will increase the heat also?

Would it be safe to play around with the FSB without increasing the voltage or could
this cause permanent damage also ? Example to see if I could post at 133 x 15 :)

MHZ gain are linear, Voltage increases are Exponential... your increased voltage is the main reason for the higher temps.
