So, at last i have just overclock my intel E4500 cpu in my intel946gzis motherboard. Not very much, but decent for me. I have done it by bsel mod(bsel 1 to bsel 2) to change fsb from 200 to 266, my E4500 running at 2.93 GHz. And this is my 1st time at overclocking.
I am using heatsink and fan which come with the processor.
Temperature from speedfan--- 43'C@ idle and 74'C @ 10 minitues of orthos small FFT test. Is this ok?
Will this overclocking reduce my cpu life span? I want to last this cpu at least 3 years.
Guys , do you give me some advice about those? I know some of you have lots of experiences in cpu overclocking.

Lifespan mostly depend on your vcore, instead of clockrate. How many volts did you give it?
The 2 main factors that kills not only the cpu, but also to every electrical component is heat and voltage. You want to minimize both of these factors to ensure a long life.
Your load temps are rather high. The general rule is to stay under 65C, and running over it will not guarantee 3 years. Check with Intel's specs and read the temp guide here.

My voltage is default. CPU Z shows 1.325 and speedfan shows 1.2-1.3.
There are three types of temp in speedfan,
at load it shows CPU : 73-74'C
Core 0 : 67-68'C
Core 1 : 67-68'C
It's summer here so ambient temp around 30'C.

Could u guys tell me which is actual CPU temperature?
