CPU Life?

I have a Bulldozer FX-4170 and I have successfully and stably overclocked it to 5GHz. Here's my question, I have the voltage cranked all the way up to 1.575v with max temps of 60C. Does anybody know by how much, if at all, this will decrease the life of my CPU.

There's no way to predict these sorts of things. It could decrease the life quite quickly, but how quickly is something no one can tell you.

A Lot is my honest answer x.x

I would call 1.5v ''healthy'' but anything beyond that will degrade soon enough ~
 
Are you sure your temperatures are correct?

They're incredibly good for that kind of clock.

What stress test and temperature monitoring are you using?
Also, the AMD don't have temperature probes in the CPU themselves so temps are never too accurate
 
yep, thanks guys! I just rebooted to my 4.9GHz stable BIOS save. So far my system is running at 50C tops! (probably wrong though :p)
