How long and how much?

[alexoldshane]

hey guys. waiting until my parts get in the mail tomorrow or tuesday, and looking for some advice.
my computer will be for mostly gaming, surfing the internet, etc.

Want to know how long the mother board will last, as a guess, if i don't overclock it, and how long it will last if i do.

Also need to know if overclocking it will even have a purpose or if my computer will run awesome as is.

That's gonna make a sweet rig!
No clue as to how long it will last overclocked, but if it's kept clean & cool it should / may / might / possibly last until the newest software releases require more power than your rig can provide.....

If you keep it within ASUS/Intels specs your MB will last:

Stock will last 13 years, 4 months, 28 days, 14 hours and 49 seconds

Overclocked will last 12 years, 10 months, 14 days, 11 hours and 32 seconds

SO, you can get the performance of a $1,000 processor for $280 and it will only cost you 6 months, 14 days, 3 hours and 17 seconds of MB life.

Enjoy the new rig!!
