Here's a tip. If you use zero volts the CPU will last a lot longer than the
estimated MTBF! g

MTBF is not a lifetime measure. MTBF is a failure probability
during the lifetime period. For example HDDs have a lifetime
of 5 years, and during that time the MTBF holds.

You do leap to the wrong conclusions rather fast, don't you? Been
very long in these newsgroups or are you just a passing newbie?

Passing newbie?....lol....Who's the clown who's never heard of
alt.comp.hardware.overclocking?

Or Phil Weldon, for that matter. How could anyone who claims
an interest in overclocking not know of an established resource like
Phil Weldon?
