    How long will a CPU last? Does a CPU ever fail from consistant usage? Won't another component of a PC fail first?

    What came first
    The Chicken
    or The Egg :p


    Too many factors to make any guess at your Q's

    AMD & Intel warranty their Retail CPU for 3yr, so I guess expect 3yr min under normal operation.
    If ya cant make 3yr, RMA..........................................................

    This is a personal opinion only, heat and dirt are the life killers of pc's in general. I know of many pc's still going strong at the 7-8 year mark, but i believe they were not run 24-7 and cleaned once and awhile, so most will last a long time, some may not last a week. ed
