No it is completely true.
By overclocking you WILL damage the CPU faster than if you weren't overclocking in the same scenario.
No ifs, no buts.

So it's not a but that this will take years to happen?
Doesn't Nokia overclock the N900 at the factory before they send it to us?
Would you care to go into more depth about the damage Nokia does by overclocking?

It might be a case of months, years or decades, the point is we just do not know.

Oh yeah, thanks for the work on the scripts though, I will have to try this some time. But it might wear out my RAM! Oh I guess thats better than the flash memory...

FYI enabling smart-reflex as part of overclocking should help with silicon degradation, it sounds like it will dynamically reduce the voltage to reduce the effects of degradation. Hopefully this counter-effects the increased temperature from overclockingAlso the materials and process (NOT high-k and is 65nm) should provide a pretty long life compared to some CPUs. Anyways I wouldn't go so far as to say any slight overclocking will damage the cpu, but it is just wearing at an accellerated rate.

Yep so I see. Just looking at the maemo-launcher source on gitorious now to see why camera-ui went pants on head. Would you be patching that directly? Might be worth implementing a blacklist + whitelist.
