When people talk about a cpu degrading, what kind of time frame are we talking about?
Lets say a cpu can last 10-15 years....
If you over volt it slightly beyond spec (not ridiculously) how quickly will it degrade?
Basically, Im trying to get my QX9650 above 3.7 ghz... (reach 4ghz if possible) and to do this I will probably have to put slightly more volts than the 1.3625 safe max as specified by intel (In bios 1.3625)
I plan to keep the cpu for another 2 years, so will the cpu degrade in this amount of time if I over volt it?
Only on air as well by the way. But I will stay below 60c if possible.
