Right, can someone please explain to me why i shouldnt put more than 1.6 volts through my cpu on air..

My chip is rated to 57oc using A64 Max temp and is being cooled with a scythe ninja with two 120mm fans strapped to it..

I thought that putting more volts through a cpu creates more heat , so therefore you have to cool it better,

So if i put 1.7 volts through my cpu, it gets hotter, but it doesnt overheat because its cooled well.

Please could someone put my mind at rest :)
