Doesn't the added wear primarily have to do with the core voltage?
That's my impression of things anyway. Running a processor with an overclock but with stock or lower voltage shouldn't screw with the lifespan, at least not much.

Read my guide on Overclocking it explains the dangers and risks about overclocking.

quite right. about the same year that a box of saltine crackers bought 5 years ago will finally become inedible.Originally Posted by rossco_2004
Well it would shorten the expected date of it dying but it would be already such a long time away you still won't know the difference.
ie. it will die in 2056.

This is all so interesting.

The lige of the cpu will most likely shorten if you raise the voltage some more and if the temperature is high. I'd highly reccommend another site other than tigerdirect.com.
I'd recommend a thermal take heatsink like
Heatsink ( $33.99) – Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU Cooler For AMD Opteron and Athlon 64, RETAIL
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...106-038&depa=0
And i would make sure that the 12V rail of the power supply is good , i'd recommend it at 12V@22A if you are planning on overclocking that high....

how do you check your powersupplies 12v rail?

Yeah...a lot of times you can get the 2500XP to a 3200XP with the same voltage...i just raised mine a tad.

The mobile version is even better, [email protected].
That's a raise from its standard 1.45 tho'.
