Long term overclocking effects?

Well if your keeping your oc'ed for that long, you would be better off buying the latest then.

so what drops half the price of what we buy? i can never remember any tech except gfx cards dropping majorly in price. NOthing drops 50% maybe you buy your items the day it comes out from most expensive store? i shop around buy online and never have anything drop in price more than 20 bux.

As far as overclocking if you keep it same volts or small bump in volts and cool better than stock cooling you SHOULD be safe. Ive had one 2.6ghz fail on me when oc'd to 3ghz but it wasnt in my box so not sure why it died. just know it had a good cooler but was in a hot room. I still overclock half a ghz every chip or more on low vid chips.

My P4 2.8 when it came out was $240 I bought a 3.2 2 years ago for $30, I recently recieved a free 2.4 when I bought a heatsink off the forums here. so yes, chips do go down in price.
