It might shorten the life of the processor but processors last for a long time anyways. I still have an old 286 still working https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

I personally never had a CPU die on me from overclocking, but my adequetely cooled GeForce2 MX (was warm to the touch) died from being overclocked for about 6 months.

Very well then. My CPU goes 675 MHZ doesn't matter what. I freaked at SIS Sandra telling me to reduce FSB. I mean, that's the idea right? but as you have realistically said, i don't think to last with this p3 for another year. NEXT ONE: AMD XP (IPC=10) and overclocking itimmediately. You have created a moster. Thank you!
