went from 3.78 down to 3.65 over past 4 months :( how long till i have to get a new CPU? im running 1.69 vcore but have been up to 1.75 trying to regain OC
also i lost 45 mhz changing from AI7 to IC7 :( got new PSU to make shure voltage is steady and nothing is stoping its slow decline :(
 
my 2800 did that... ended up running at stock.. seemed to have lasted a long time stock tho.. got rid of it before it died
 
1.7v imo is not a safe voltage for everyday usage. thats why im very happy with my 1ghz overclock and only 1.55v
 
my 3.0C was running at 3.75 with w/c fans at high-speed, or at 3.6 with fans at 7V, at 1.725V on CPU. then i had to turn it down to 3.5, then to 3.3, and now running stock at 3.0 since i got tired of weird problems and having to reboot...

i will be replacing the whole shabang pretty soon here, and i suggest you do the same.
 
My 1700+ XP T-Bred B was fine at 1.8 or 1.9 ghz for the longest time. Then when I gave it to my bro, i clocked it back down to 1700+. Now it's not even stable at that. Have to clock it down to 1100Mhz. So who knows?
 
It's a case of too much voltage. I see that happen to every chip that I put too much voltage through. My current 3.0E used to do 265mhz fsb, but is now at 245mhz fsb, but it isn't dropping anymore because I lowered the voltage to it.
