Yes, there are a LOT of "wooden" cache chips out there. You can usually
spot them because they have a sticker over the chips warning that the
warranty is void if the sticker is removed.
Another thing that causes this is overclocking CPU's. Often a misjumpered
motherboard will set the CPU up at the wrong clock speed and too high a
speed results in too hot a CPU among other problems.
