LOL thats whay I have been trying to say. Its like talking to a brick wall.
It's ridiculous... I don't understand why people think things are any different now than they were 3 months ago the last time there was a thread about this on the forums. The notion that you can somehow make your CPU run faster or cooler by forcing it to run in unstable conditions for extended periods of time is pure nonsense. People throw around the term "burn-in" way too loosely. When using it to describe what happens when your thermal paste is breaking in and your temps are gradually decreasing, ok... that happens... it's a fact. But if you're using it to say that you're burning the path electrons take through the CPU to make them go faster... that's just idiocy.
