I know. in the aviation industry, for the speeds used to 'fly an aircraft'
there are margings used to be on the safe side. for instance, stall warnings
actually are pre-stall warnings, as the stall is oimminent, not happening
yet. but then :

you are 50% over the specs Intel has published. It's good to hear that your
system works fine but in real life, it's not possible to state that 300 @
450 works fine for everyone. that's the reason the OC part should be ruled
out.
an MD-11 won't fall out of the sky if you are experiencing a stall warning.
still, you won't like the feeling, the recovery etc.
