A question just popped into my head, will my overclocking lower the life expectancy on my mobo as well as my proc, or just my proc like ive heard?

Well that all depends. If you have say a Celeron with the 66mhz FSB and a board that is stock 133mhz FSB Overclocking the celeron to 100fsb would not affect the Mobo in the least. Now say you have the 100fsb board and 100fsb Celeron. You set that to 133mhz bus your overclocking the chipset as well. That can make for less life expactance on the Motherboard as well 8)
