FYI enabling smart-reflex as part of overclocking should help with silicon degradation, it sounds like it will dynamically reduce the voltage to reduce the effects of degradation. Hopefully this counter-effects the increased temperature from overclocking Also the materials and process (NOT high-k and is 65nm) should provide a pretty long life compared to some CPUs. Anyways I wouldn't go so far as to say any slight overclocking will damage the cpu, but it is just wearing at an accellerated rate. Oh yeah, thanks for the work on the scripts though, I will have to try this some time. But it might wear out my RAM! Oh I guess thats better than the flash memory...
