"OC vs. life-span"

Last response: in Overclocking
Share

Guyz.....I need your help. I am planning to buy an i5 750 which I am gonna use for the next 6 years. I was also thinking about Moderate overclocking. If I overclock it (say to 3.6 or 3.3GHz,without increasing voltage ), will it last for 6 years??



Thanks guyz for your time.... :)

yes, even a heavily overclocked Processor should survive ten or more years.

as long is you keep it well cooled, its should live well beyond obsolescence.

Not this question again. :sigh:

Keep your core voltage and temperatures below Intel's recommended maximum and, short of a random "*** happens" failure, your system will be long obsolete before it dies of any overclocking side effects.
