<< Hey, I have my 1700+ at 1.825Vcore 148FSB right now, I was wondering how much is really reduced the CPU lifetime by overclocking, rising Vcore and stuff, would good heat disipation solve it? >>
yah
<< Anyone's CPU really died because of that? >>
not from OC'ing.
<< I mean... Would it stop working one day? >>
Depends.. if you provide good cooling to maintain acceptable temps and good voltage flow provided by your PSU, it will not stop working in any day, otherwise it can.
<< It's a pretty confusing thing to me >>
it won't be confusing after years of experience in OC'ing. More you learn about OC'ing and experience on the practice of OC'ing, the more u'll know.
