How come?

[user0209]

How come you guys are buying new cpu's all the time? Do your cpu blow up very often?

I don't get to buy new one very often. Mine annoyingly works for years if I leave it alone

Ever looked on the title of our forum ?

Not very bad for itself. We all wish ours work the same way

i have to side with user0209 here. I bought my Athlon XP 2000 earlier 2003 and haven't upgraded yet. I'll keep it as logn as it works and even after it dies. I don't upgrade becasue the newest thing is out. I upgrade when needed and have decided to build a new comp altogether because of certain dissatisfactions with current rig.

I still have systems from when I was in the 5th grade...

Yeah...OCer's tend to run through hardware like Monkeys with peanuts.

Overclockers are just smarter when it comes to purchasing cpu's. We buy the hottest overclocking chips for less than $100 clock em to blow the doors off the $600 chips and when we tire of them we sell them for what we paid.

We also very shy

That's OK Styx... a 2 year old computer is still viable.
