Overclocking shorten life of cards?

[lilkiller]

I have a BBA 9800 non pro that I've had flashed to pro for about a year now and it has been running great. I just recently overclocked it even further to XT speeds. Does running it at overclocked speeds like this shorten the life of the card?

 

[Rage187]

yes

Yes. So a better cooling system will help it a bit.

I put a vga silencer on it. How long do you think the card will last at XT speeds? pro speeds?

 

[Rage187]

it all depends on the card and about 1,000,000 other variables.

by the time you kill the card man it will be like a fx5200 now
