That's not quite true, none of the overclocking profiles go above the default voltage for 600Mhz when clocked up to 1GHz, it is only at frequencies higher than that it will go above standard operating voltages (unless you create a custom OC profile that does otherwise). So with most N900s you will be able to get some level of overclocking without increasing the voltage. The OC profiles actually focus on decreasing the voltages for normal operation to increase the battery life.
