Hi guys, i have a question regarding my pc
Spec:
AMD phenom 2 X4 940BE 3.0Ghz + Asus M4A78PRO mobo.
Kingston Hyper-X 4gb ddr2
Asus Gts250 1gb
Gigabyte PSU 720W @ real power 690W+

I've installed the EPU software bundled with my mobo, and i found out the power saving is quite useful to me, In Max Power Saving Mode, it downclock my processor from 3.0ghz to 800mhz for each core. and grahpic card from 800mhz to 400mhz core speed + 800mhz memory speed(2000mhz default). It helped me to save electricity bills since i only do gaming some times, and i put full load on it.

BUT, Is there any Side effect of downclocking the processor and VGA card , Hdd Ram, ? By long term, will it slow down the Cpu speed or life time? i couldnt get any satisfied answer even though i've googled . any pro had experience on this be4? thanks !
