I'm not trying to start an other AMD/Intel fight but lifetime is (also) related to the temperature of the parts in the system and if sensors read wrong your might apply insufficient cooling to them.

Well, with the cores never maxxing past 48c and the CPU never maxxing past 55c
that leaves 6c headroom. and from what I've seen the cpu temp is usually at 54c.

Ya the problem with the beta bios to turn these AM3 boards into AM3+ is we have to rely on LLC for voltage. It seems I'm lucky with my board as the voltage with LLC hovers between 1.34-1.36v
I guess Asus did that so they can sell their CH V boards for more control over voltage for enthusiasts.
