purposly raising CPU temp

[randy66]

I switched my CPU fan to a L1A panaflo , my pc is virtually silent , ( just noticed that my mouse clicks )
of course raising CPU temp approx,was 42c / 50c idle/load
now 46c / 54c idle /load
its a XP2100 t/b/b on a A7N8X
I plan on upgrading just the processor in about 6-8 months , do you forsee me shortening its life that drastically , I want to use this processor for spare system after upgrade , ( then running it cooler)
I really enjoy the Near Silence

Well your CPU definitely won't die before your next upgrade but you'll kill the overclockability, and when people have decided to get new CPU in a short while, they will insanely oc their CPU to squeez every drop of juice from the going away CPU.

It is morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money

The faster they are, louder they get. Just keep the system below you and really you wont notice much.
