from pentium 3 coppermine-> pentium 4 northwood C-> core 2 quad, so far never killed a proc.
but it was just minor OC. the P4 used 1.6Volts(original 1.525) 24/7 throughout its lifetime and its never off abt 1 year coz botting online games.after 5 years++ of usage den i change to C2Q, the p4 chip still functioning just its obsolete for current games.
