Well hello everyone, I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now and finally signed up.
I shall be upgrading my setup in the next month (trusty XP2700 since 2003)with what seems a tried and tested setup, E6300, DS3, Geil ram, etc as I am going to try overclocking for the first time. I already have a PC-7 waiting to go and am going to order the Corsair 520 or 620 watt psu when I can make my mind up which one.
Just got one question thou, if I overclock my E6300 to approx say 3ghz what effect will this have on it's expected life? I will use something like the ninja cooler but my brother who is a hardcore AMD fan says it will lower its life significantly.
