And in reality electromigration is something that takes some amount of time to occur. The additional heat created by overclocking the chip doesn't just cause problems instantly, it takes quite some time for the process to occur. It may run fine for a day, a week, a month, or even a year before enough damage occurs to cause a failure mode. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
