about overclocking

---

just a question on overclocking, on a computer if you overclock it, it can cause cause a shorter life span on the processor because of the extra heat, is there any ill effects to the vega by overclocking it?

Overclocking always carries a risk (the manuafacturer wouldn't randomly underclock your CPU for no reason unless there called Apple ofc) the vega is very stable at the speeds it is so far possible to reach however when I ran mine at 1.4ghz I noticed a slight warmth from the device battery will be shorter lasting ofc as well running the vega up to 1.2 is very safe in my opinion 1.4 or 1.5 carries a very small risk

adding to bob's answer.

considering the current life span of mobile electronics I really wouldn't worry!
Yes, the processor on it, instead of lasting 25 years before burn n die will last only 23 years.. so don't worry!

Battery wise as well, instead of giving you 4 years of good life than an extra 2 of crappy life, it will be 3 years of good life!

remember.. ALL THOSE NUMBERS I said are purely guessing and have no scientific base!! They are for illustration purposes only.

fact is: in 3 years time you'll already have bought a n-videa core 8 based device that the screen is as thin as a piece of 300grm paper.
so conclusion: I wouldn't worry and enjoy the benefits of overclocking. But it's your decision!

thanks for the answers guys
