I abuse CPUs so I don't bother buying expensive ones

I am running my 1700+ TBredB at 2.05V and 2400MHz now. I will continue to run it at such speed until it "doesn't go". I'll keep you posted.

I have been overvolting the crap out of processors for a LONG time now, and never had a CPU die. I typically run them flat our til I want to upgrade, and then put them in systems for family members clocked back to whatever they will do near default voltage. I have yet to have the first CPU turn up dead: the Tbird 1.0 that ran at 1.625 and 2.1V, my old Celeron2 566@952 2V are both still purring along years later.
