These consoles aren't exactly designed with a lot of free space, they'd probably have to redesign it to fit a larger cooling unit in there. These things just move so slowly that it seems like it's rather late in the game to change things. Otherwise, everything I've read suggests overclocking does indeed increase the failure rate including a data gathering survey from Microsoft, but strangely there's not been much in the way of information released about it. I think it would be too difficult to acquire reliable data with specific conditions such as what cooling units were being used and such... for instance, I bought a MONSTER of a heat sink for my CPU, but my PC doesn't even know it's there were it to send failure data in. If you're right I'll have to start overclocking my stuff more lol, I didn't skimp on the heatsink and ventilation, this thing never gets hot. |
They wouldnt have to spend much time redesigning it.
They just make the plastic shroud abit taller (2cm or so), and put in a taller cooling unit (bigger fan).
I am right.
The avg cpu life spand is like 15+ years at normal opperations.
Even if you give it more power than its designed to, and overclock it, chances are you ll still get 8-10 years outta it.
By then as a PC user, you ll probably want a new cpu anyways (the more power part, is what hurts it the most).
Just remember to keep it well cooled.
Also that isnt even the case for the PS4 neo.
Its running "less" than normal clock rates.
This wouldnt be a overclock, it would be a put it back to normal clock rates, type of deal.
RX runs much higher than 911mhz.
