My cousin is still running my old AMD 64 3000+ and god knows how old that thing is by now.
I don't think CPU's are the kind of thing to just go down, they seem to battle on as long as their conditions are right![]()
Hi,
I'm just wondering how long an i5 750 should last if it's overclocked at 4GHz? Say it was on constantly at that speed how long would it work?
it will work for long enough that if the cpu ever did die you could pick up another one for peanuts![]()

I gave my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4 o/c at 1.5 to my parents 4 years ago. It had some nasty temps, 50-60c.
It's still working. Had it since 2001. It's almost never turned off.
If that's anything, cpus seem to survive easily unless you burn them.
new cpus in 2010 q1 from intel so i would say not that long
