Nice! Great job on that wPrime run.

I don't stress out too much about CPU fatigue. That's just so unnecessary, IMHO. It's a consumable component. Worse case scenario is you buy a new CPU in a couple of years. I am still waiting for my 2920XM and 3920XM to fatigue from excessive voltage and there's no sign of it. But, I have been sternly admonished repeatedly by noobs that I was going to kill them.

The most important thing is to extract the most performance from it that you can, for as long as you can... run it hard, put it up wet, and if it's going to die let it go out in a blaze of glory. Nothing lasts forever.

Let the BGA jockeys obsess over the CPU welded to their mobo. They actually need to worry, but we don't have to care.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
