life vs overclock

[INemtsev]

I heard most cpu;s are designed to live 10 years, will overcloking reduce the life ...by how much....if u dont touch voltage will it still shorten?

Theoretically if you do not add vcore above standard default and temps are within INtel recommended range then I dopn't see why it would shorten its life...You need to realize the reason many of these chips oc so well is they have actually been speed binned to fill market demands for lower speed grade chips....

It has been still a rather short period of time to realize what the longevity of the northwod chips is at any vcore above default....

My guess and purely my guess would think that 1.6v or less on a 1.525-1.55v default chips should live at least 5-7 years....1.65v maybe down to 3-5years and maybe 1.7v 1-3 years...I don't recommend anything above 1.7v....

I don't think he'd want to run his AMD chips at Intel's recommended voltages and temps.

LOL...I guess I have Intel on the brain!!!

This logic applies for AMD in my opinion, just disregard the vcore options...I don't really know the ranges with AMD but I would imagine te 1.6v Bartons or so should be safe up to 1.8v and be a lot like 1.65-1.7v on the INtel chip..

Wow...what the heck is wrong with this site!!!!

Kepp this up and I am going to have Shady06 post numbers!!

Not only do you have Intel on the brain, you have a stickey keyboard :Q

 

[Megatomic]

LOL! A sextuple post??? I've had a triple lately but you got me man. :beer:

 

[bootoo]

Eeh; I get computers from 1998 donated to my computer club all the time that I don't know what to do with.

In 10 years no one will care what my hot 1700+ could do back in 2003.

So why not try and see?

How about running your intel chip at AMD's rated voltages and temps? That's alright, right? :evil:

Didn't many overclocked Northwoods have that sudden death syndrome where they just died?

I wasn't sure about the voltage bump on those though.

 

[Duvie]

That was when ppl were generally taking them over 1.75v and over....I haven't heard of any deaths of a northwood in quite a while...Most do not take the vcore toohigh as the performance enhancement really becomes quite samll after 1.6v anyways...
