Not everyone is dumb and overclocking is nothing new. That Nokia engineer dude actually said frequency is not the problem. It's the high voltages that Nokia's stock kernel uses. My cpu right now uses less voltage at 950mhz than what your non overclocked cpu uses at 600mhz. Nokia is the one actually overclocking the cpu by over volting the cpu heavily from 550mhz onwards. I'll bet my cpu runs much cooler with less stress at 850mhz than stock N900 at 600mhz.
you cannot get accurate data about device temperature unless you open the covers up and stick a temperature sensor to multiple places. but then again airflow is changed significantly because no covers are on.... so I'd take those "more efficiently and cooler" -arguments with a 10 ton pile of salt.
(e: and I mean when talking with scientifically measurable, repeatable etc terms, not in "I got a feeling" -level used by the overclockers)
