1. There is nO way to know if overclocking will shorten the life of YOUR cpu or really by how much.
2. It has been estimated by those much smarter than myself that cpus should last about 13 years full time use. Overclocking was thought to shorten that life to about 11 years. If you plan to use the cpu over 11 years, do not overclock.
3. As has been said the ability to keep the cpu cool is important as well as how much voltage is being applied to the cpu at what temperature. Cool cpus resist being damaged with added voltage over extended time periods.
4. One of the reasons we don't really try and teach setting offset cpu voltage and running with all the green stuff on is because it takes a little trial and error testing to get the voltages to drop and come back on with cpu speed increase. I have all the green stuff except C6 and Turbocore and my cpu idles at 1400Mhz and jumps to 4800Mhz when loaded and passes 2 hours of P95 Blend mode at 4.8Ghz. It can be done but it is not do A and B and C will be the result. It takes balancing the voltages to speeds.
Thank you, very useful information.
I'm jealous lol kidding, nice OC you have!! I wish I could get near that! lol.
Just to know, whats your vcore on idle and full load? thank you!
