some of you may remember a couple of months back I inquired about my barton 2500+ that had a minor defect that made it so the NF7-S wouldn't run it properly due to the extra sensitivity of the motherboard. Soon the thread became sort of insulting and it died out, the question that was left unanswered was that if the cpu was actually going to deteriorate as time went on.. now most people with these minor defects just simply RMA the chip as soon as they realize they had one, but people on this board convinced me to keep mine so i did.
Now after running the cpu for a couple of months I've noticed the instability of the cpu keeps rising as time goes on, it has now gotten to a point where I can't evne run the cpu at stock speed but I must undervolt it and therefore underclock it... so I guess the question that people asked, if the minor defect effected the long term lifespan of the cpu, I guess the answer would be yes. Do you think AMD knows about this?
