haha too bad for u guys.

my system is still good, except my old Gigabyte-965P-DS3 crap out after a year. i was running +0.3 vMCH and vFSB, 457MHz FSB @ 24/7

that experience a good indication for what other ppl stated about the electromigration and lifespan of an overclocked system.

so always spare some money on ur pocket after your system is 1 year old++

p/s: my P35-DS3 requires NO additional voltage for 450MHz++ FSB/MCH

coz your stock voltage on Vmch is already pumped to around 1.40+V... my ip35e defaults at 1.23V on Vmch..

It is not likely to be a CPU related, as normally the CPU is the most reliable part of the system.

Had a problem like this a couple of years back, have to throttle down OC until the system died one day. Root cause? Motherboard. At that time I changed the board to an Abit one and the CPU went flying again.

Especially motherboards manufactured before the dawn of the solid capacitor age. It could be any components on the board, actually, that is more likely that is unable to cope with the increased stressed of overclocking.

The number one suspect for flaky/failing system > 1 year is the motherboard. Just look at the number of chips, conductive pathways, passive components and solder joint on it. Anyone goes, thats it.

I think OC will makes writing errors right?

haha, normal lar, so long already.. the processor asking you to buy new cheaper and more powerful counterpart already...
