Thing is, these chips stay nice and cool even at high voltages. What kills them is electron migration, and not temps. So thats the question. Can PII sustain voltage for 4.5ghz clocks for more than just benches? My Dtek fusion keeps my 940BE in the 30c range on full load at 1.55v, so I'm guessing I'll be fine with temps all the way up to 1.65v without problem. The voltage itself is the real concern and question mark. Voltage will kill chips, despite temps. If this was not the case, I'd be running 4.2ghz on 1.65v 24/7.
