Blogs The Problem with Overclocking

the e7400 has a smaller cache.. it's a oc beast on a budget =] perfect chip really- and from a gaming point of view it's not about the cache as it is the speed

thing is if you plan on any kind of longevity (2yrs+).. you need to keep it under thermal specs 74.1C - and I go a step further and keep it at or under the max voltage spec (according to intel 1.3625v).. I always looked at it like who would know better about the chips limits and electromigration than intel's own engineers

your pretty much guaranteed a good life on the chip
