i know enough about IT at all to know that it is just dumb to
run hardware outside the SPECs and if doing so wonder about
stability issues

...even when the hardware is MEANT to be overclocked?
 

modern CPUs are most of the time in energy saving mode
why? because there is no need to run alwas at full speed

My cpu runs under 100% load 24/7, crunching simulations for the Folding@Home project, so for me the extra cycles are significant.
 

having system freezes after and while overclocking and wonder about is strange

Yes, true, if you are doing it wrong. The CPU is perfectly stable at this voltage, hence why I wanted to know if other components could be involved.
