I don't think that this is very dangerous: If a person know how to use the flasher, I think that he know also the risk of flashing a kernel.
Heh. The risk isn't in flashing the kernel, it's in the nearly 50% overclock. You're going to adversely affect your CPU lifetime doing that. Period.

Whether the amount it is decreased is relevant is another issue, but there's no getting around the fact that the increased temperature will accelerate damage due to electromigration, and there are probably other factors in new CPUs i'm not even aware of.

Don't kid yourself this is 100% harmless.
