well i dont totally agree with neocz. there is of course a degradation to your solid state inside your processor but most of your processors under stringest testings before its sold in the market. And i dont really think TS oc voltage is high enough to promote electron migration with total effect. It can be other issues

bro theres nothing wrong playing with voltage as long you know where the limit is and u dont go overboard with it like some ppl

hmm yeah, electron migration affects anything electronic.. just that at what degree of severity its at, depends on how much voltage ur going to pump into it. So for someone who does extreme overclocking over a period of time, his/her rate of em, would be higher than someone with a least amount of oc or none good stuff to learn more about shawts. I also need to learn more from my sifus too

then the smaller the Vcore needed to pump for higher speeds... well, hmm, thats why i prefer 65nms.. 32nm procs dont even use FSB, they use QPI and hmm its a mod version of Hyper Transport.. no idea how we are going to overclock when they is no fsb to play with.

Shawts, looks like they saw what we ocers are doing with their procs, so they have locked all the goodies..

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