does voltage impact durability given same operating temperature?

[LOST TALE]

is there any data on the effect of voltage on cpu or gpu degradation with the thermal variable kept constant?

 

I've been using auto cpu voltage. for 32nm the guideline maximum is 1.35v

mine maxes at 1.320v

 

also, is the alternative to auto, a constant voltage?

 

everytime I took interest in cpu lifetime. I haven't seen anyone report a failure from long-term degradation.

 

so far it looks like its only laptop barbecues and plugging 12v cables in the cpu that kills.

There is degradation, but it's not that big on latest models. It was noticealbe on 2700k, for example.

And yes, there reality is, that in vast majority of cases mobo will die earlier, than cpu

So don't worry about it.

Nothing that you can measure, so don't worry about it.
