ok so wats a Overclocked CPU's, estimated life??? say E6400 at 3ghz?
or if u want to take extream overclocking a E6400 at 3.8ghz (this is for example)so pretty much overclocked to the max while still stable how long do u think they'll last before they jst die(years,months,days?)?
so jst generally 2 questions kinda
1. ok so wats a Overclocked CPU's, estimated life for a modirate overclock say a E6400 at 3ghz
2. and second a Overclocked CPU's, estimated life for a extreame overclock max until unstable say somewhere between 3.4ghz-3.8ghz(depending on ur cpu)
Overclocked CPU's, estimated life??? say E6400 at 3ghz?

this is likely the wrong forum for this topic.. while I'm sure a few of us have overclocked in the past (I sure have) you'll probably get a better response on an overclocking or hardware forum.
Generally: I don't overclock anymore. The extra 10% isn't worth it to me - I'll just buy a faster proc/whatever if I need it.

I've never overclocked. Although I tried it once with my graphics card and it instantly became unstable. My case isn't cool enough, mainly because of 3 HDD's and poor air flow. I'd rather keep my warranty and have stable components 
On topic: it's extremely difficult to estimate the lifetime of a normal, unoverclocked componenent; nevermind one you've tampered with. It depends on alot of different things. I don't think you'll find a good answer to your question on any forum.
