So I have read alot about over-volting CPUs, the pros and cons, etc. . .
I understand the effect that over-volting can have on the degradation of the CPu, but I also know the specs Intel has utilizes are very conservative to avoid warranty claims and also calculated to preserve the life of the CPU to the 3 year mark.
So my question is, what if anything have members read in respect to the shortening the life of a cpu by overvolting and do you have any evidence, such as tables showing relative degradation estimates.
My thought is that I usually replace my CPU every 1-2 years depending on the technology. At the present, I do not forsee upgrading for at least another year. Can I expect my 2.8c to survive that long at 1.8vcore.
And while we are on the subject, what in the hell is worng with these MOBO manufacturers. Do that not relaize that some mem can handle 3.1 within specs?
