Heat output is directly dependable on voltage increase, that is correct but that does not hold any more for frequency increase, heat output just barely increase with the same voltage.
Ok lets do a little calculations, based on AMD specs for tbred B
1700+ 1.6V 1466 MHz max heat output 59.8W
2200+ 1.6V 1800 MHz max heat output 62.8W
so 333 MHz increase in frequency produce 3W of heat. So 1 MHz of frequency add 0.009W
That's not exactly right..... if you look at document 25175 from AMD datasheets you'll see that 2000+/1.667GHz TbredB pulls out 61.3W of heat and 2400+/2.000GHz TbredB puls out 65.3W.... now that's 4W of heat, not 3..... but it's not as simple as that....
