QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ Sep 4 2009, 04:56 PM) Can it? They can be stable, but their lifespan will be reduced. It's like adding NOS to your car engine, more power but also causes more stress and wear. I have no idea how much their lifespan is reduced. Does anyone know?I am planning to get some watercooling for my rig. The tubes will only be passing through the cpu block. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10231516-1.html Also are overclocked cpus stable especially for 24/7 usage?  Not much point in running OCed chips 24/7 unless they can auto downclock to minimum non-OC levels. P2P doesn't need much.

If a 2 GHz chip can be overclocked up to 4 GHz but Intel only overclocks it to 3 GHz, you can overclock it even higher up until that 4 GHz limit. Just keep in mind that not all chips are made equal. Some i7 might have a maximum of 3 GHz, some have 3.5 GHz and some have 4 GHz. |
