Change the word "processor" for "car" and the absurdity of your argument should be fairly obvious. Most ordinary cars will provide reliable transport for many years, but will literally catch fire after a few hot laps on a racetrack. It makes no sense to design a passenger car with brakes, suspension, cooling and tyres that are massively over-engineered for normal use just in case the owner wants to go endurance racing.

3970x is a race car in your analogy, and thus should not catch fire
