Make it this way ... All Product , weather you overclock or not have life span ... Either long or Short , that is the matter ... There is no Un"rosak"able things in this world ... Even Diamond can Rosak if you put there thousand and billions of year in the case ....

The Shortening of life span usually due to Over Current , Over Voltage , Over Impulse , Over Temperature and Over Time .

Capacitors usually had kind of oil inside ... if it drys up over period of time ... it loose its capacitance ...

Over voltage Makes the narrow insulating Plates become para conducting and Sparks may happen and blown the thing ...

Over temp makes your Capacitor oil expand and Burst and dry out ...



Anyway ... oc comp is better than non OC because Comp are easily outdated and hence ... OC a little and Use More happily than lagg for nothing ...

Ah .. one thing for sure in OC is depends on your luck

A processor had a Average life span of 10 years ...
The mulfuntion rate of a processor is in normal distribution of 5 days to 50 years ( same as other electrical product ... where some good product mulfunction in seconds and some evn after 20 years also no problem ... the one longest ussage light bulb is recorded to be 38Years 24/7 without fail !!! they are lucky to had that since now the most expensive light bulb .. if open 24/7 .. after five years ... most of it blacken )

The normal distribution tells all the story
So you are lucky with your OCed Parts running over a long period of time while other might get their parts mulfunction .. same goes with Capacitors and PSUs .....

We can't predict Luck but we can Be prepared to face what we might face ...

Since OC is mean to be OCed at your own RISK ... You can go for it if you like to and no one will blam you as long as you dont blam yourself

Ah .. one more thing ... One architecture had bigger Nanometers in their processor conducting lines ... for example 8 atom per crosection of line ... New nanoarchitecture had narrow the atom per line and hence increase Transistor per inch and Heat dissipation ( too much atom ... too much thermal resistance ) .... for example 2 atom per crossection of line ....

if the atom Failing rate is fix at 1 faliure per year ... then your 2 atom structure will be having faliure rate of about 2 years (if and only the two atom are situated side by side in a cross section and may cause a closed circuit to be open and hence consider mulfunction ... ) ... and for those 8 atom one .. it may take at least 8 years to fail ...

Anyway .. this may not always the case as now our technology had thermally reduce (expcially conroe ) and the Failing rate per atom had decrease as not much high temp produced ....

So still .. the failing rate still depends on your Luck

PUSH to the LIMIT and back a little for stability ...
Who knows suddenly your PSU not enough Juice and performance drop .. and JAM the whole system with BSOD

PSU ...
How ah .. using a Cooler Master 550W SLI and the Power meter only show ussage of <100W idle ..... <150W on load ....

It is very important to never let your Processor reach 50 celcius once

thats my Key

Ah .... electron is such a cute fellow but also create such problem when migration and tunneling happens

No way to prevent a Component for not ROSAK at all . Thats why Superconductor is so important ... The current flow without Resistance . Since no resistance , no work against the unwanted force and hence no heat being dessipated and hence no thing will be delocalised

The Most stable structure is still Subatomic Particle

It form from the first universe start with all the 6 Quarks , electron , positron , neutrino and anti neutrino . Things never change since then .
Haha , unless you can break quarks into even smaller particle
