Lifetime?

I recently threw together a new rig, composed of these parts:

P4 1.8A
Asus P4S533-E
Kingston 512 MB DDR PC2100
MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200
80 GB Seagate Barracude IV Fluid

After fiddling a bit around with overclocking, I settled at 2.61 ghz for the cpu. It runs stable at 1.575 vcore.

At the moment, I only have one case fan, pulling air out of the case, along with the cpu fan (stock), psu fan and graphics card fan. This causes my system to have somewhat annoyinlgy high temperatures. My mobo is 33° C and the cpu is 36° C idle and somwhere around the 54° C at full load.
All of these temperatures are within the no-apparent-danger-zone, but I still think they are too high, which is why I'm planning to throw in an intake 80mm fan and a new cpu fan (80mm as well) soon.

I'm beginning to wonder about the lifetime of this system. Can anyone here estimate how long it will live at current cooling, and how long after replacing/adding fans?

Hard to say as noone has had an OC'ed Northwood system for years as they aren't that old But as you're within the "safety zone" (<1.75v) it shouldn't die on you right away.
I think it would last for as long as you'd want to use the system

I would back the rig down to 2.4 ghz(533 fsb) so your other components are running so out ot spec. Temperature wise, you are fine. Just watch for that bus.

If he doesn't seem to have problems why care? I know it's out of spec and many people have problems with that but I've been running 3 years with an old Celeron rig with 41.5Mhz pci and never had a single problem, not even with the SB Live! card so I figure it varies.
