People generally tend to spew a lot of crap on the Internet regarding
overclocking CPUs, so I avoid reading answers on those forums.

Q: From an engineering perspective, if I overclock my core i7 from 3.8GHz
to around 4.4GHz and increase the voltage to support the higher
frequencies, what effect does it have on the lifespan of the CPU (assuming
I cool it adequately to under 55 degrees under full load)? Do the higher
than standard voltages slowly damage the inside of the CPU? I don't really
know anything about the insides of ICs yet...
