Seriously though, we should stop saying this. It's not a smart idea. Get an aftermarket cooler for 30 bucks.
It's only not a smart idea if you're attempting to push over 1.260-1.280v+, or you simply want temps below 60c on load and a quieter CPU fan, I can do 4.4GHz at 1.246v and keep my gaming temps under 80c.
In my Performance Thread i run PCSX2 and Dolphin.
Dolphin Benchmark
Pentium G3258 4.4GHz
Score (Total time): 7 minutes, 1 second

I've ran Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, here's my thread on the Dolphin emu forums and my OCN thread for other emulators, they're at the bottom of the first post on OCN.

I think It should perform as well as an i5 or an i7 at similar clocks, providing you don't need the threads and the AVX instruction set, I think PCSX2 may benefit from the threads in Software mode but I'm not entirely sure.
