Right that's definitely another concern, but my main worry is regarding the degradation. To eliminate condensation is doable, but if the CPU isn't capable of maintain a high voltage for a reasonable lifespan even with ideal operating temperature, there's nothing I can do.

So is it like there's a maximum value for voltage which passing that value would result in faster degradation regardless of its operating temperature? By the way, do you know if there's some experimental data about it? Has anyone tested this before (regarding longevity/degradation, not just XOC)? Thank you a lot for your reply.

I am wondering if I can cool a CPU really well by using below-ambient cooling, can I go beyond the "safe voltage" when doing 24/7 overclocking? In another word, does the "safe voltage" for 24/7 overclocking scale inversely with a chip's operating temperature when longevity/lifespan of the chip stay the same (or similar)?
