Hi Guys,
Is there any firm evidence (not anecdotal) that running your CPU close to max settings stated by the manufacturer results in reduced CPU life??
I understand (on a basic level) about electromitigation (EM) but have any real studies been completed that examine the temp/cpu life relationship?
People talk about EM and it may be that I just don't know enough about it but from my reading it seems perhaps it is largely theoretical or likely to come from stressing chips with heat in the short term, rather than, running them hot but not ridiculously hot for a longer time, say a year or so.
I am happy to be educated via links etc and also happy to gauge anecdotal evidence on individual experience. I think this is an important topic for overclocking and I would like to find out more
Thanks for the replies
