    You do not threaten my account TROLL (I did state this thread only)!

    Advise you shut your mouth!

    My advise to AG/OP, report him for derailing your thread which is about your kind FREE work!
    Oh-oh, I know the difference between mud and crappola. Jeesh, at least you can't say you've not been warned.

    Anyway, back on-topic: As someone here has mentioned, under normal operation, you have slow degradation of your CPU, as it is subject to electron-migration. If you start increasing the Vcore, you accelerate this condition in a CPU. Now, with pretty high Vcores, as well as subjecting the CPU to stability-testing, by using IBT, as an example, you may accelerate electron-migration to such a point that instead of having a CPU last 20 years+ under normal conditions, you can shorten this to mere months.

    We have seen enough of the 'sudden-death' cases to realise this is a real concern.

    So, humeyboy, show a bit of respect to guys like Dave (Movieman), who has been around the block more times than quite many of us here, and heed his advice, as it's good advice. Behaving like a spoilt brat is not conducive to good relations, and you can pretty quickly find yourself out in the cold.

    Let's keep it civil.

    ps: Dave, you can sent Dinos to Antarctica - I think the Aussies are laying claim to a 3rd territory Down Way South
