It's still working. I don't believe in the age myth. I only believe that my processor will last forever with the proper maintaince, ect.
Age myth? You mean "Forever" as in "forever"?
There are several reasons overclocking reduces chip life expectancy, metal and temperature fatigue, an increased electromigration rate due to extra voltage and current, a higher chance of electrical field anomalies resulting in undesirable electron allowances, which is another form of "electromigration" that occurs most often in solid state field effect transistors. In other words, a bunch of electromechanically-carried concepts that conspire to ruin our sunny (OC'ed) day.. by engineering esoterically-guised rainclouds.
