Will overclock make my CPU/Video card run slower in the future?

I overclocked my video card and my CPU and been running for a month. Everything is stable. But does overclock make my CPU/Video card run slower in the future or when it just shorten the lifespan only?



Thanks|||It will shorten the life span and I guess you could say it will make your computer run slower as it will eventually have a speed of 0 Ghz when it fries the processor. With todays computer speeds I don't understand why anyone would want to overclock their processor and video card?|||no it just makes it where it dies suddenly on you lol... but when it works, it works|||It depends on how much it's overclocked as to the lifespan of the component(s), but it won't run slower in the future - it's not like a battery, or something that loses power over time. As long as it's stable and not damaged, the hardware should run at the same speed indefinitely.|||u can over clock .it may generate more heat...check for maximum speed while over clocking.........|||no it wont , however overclocking shortern's the life of the device if you dont have sufficent coolibng that can keep up tih the overclock.



overclocking just runs more elctricity in a device then normal, therefore making it hotter and without sufficient cooling it will burn the device.|||overclocking won't but over voltage will. my video card is running OC almost 6 momths now and is very stable. overclocking very high might also degrade your cpu and will evetually die or run slower in the future. always take caution and care when overclocking. always monitor your temps.
