Maybe they won't last 10 years.... Maybe only 7.... The useful lifetime of these boards is measured in months at this point...
OC FTW !
My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping for 12 months, but I am most definitely an optimist. If there was a way to OC, I'd be all over that.

There is, by replacing the regulator. Atleast one person so far has done this and has reported about 10% gains from it. It does void the warranty and does require a skilled professional to do, but is possible.
link? I was under the impression that if a board has <16 working chips, it may be possible to overclock the others using the additional headroom provided by not running a chip (ie: 2/16 chips dont work -> 12.5% more power available to working chips. (am i correct on this, can anyone confirm?)
