I have a 3770k OC'd at 4.2 Ghz.
I really want to bring it to 4.4-4.5 range (Corsair H80 cooler).

I been doing some reading on OC and the main cons I been reading about is lifespan, lifespan, lifespan.

However the word lifespan is too vague for me. I know these things can't be estimated, but broadly, what is the minimum life expectancy I should expect if I OC it to 4.5Ghz?
