Just wondering by how much i am shortening the life of this cpu by overclocking it this high. Maybe i should have asked this question when i started overclocking it a couple of months ago. I realize that most answers will be speculation. Still someone might have a formula hoping so anyways. I run it about 14 hours a day. Also eventually I will upgrade to a cpu made for the am3+ mb. I would like it to last a while though. At least until AMD has an offering worth buying. Anyways here are the specs of my system. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2170968
