hi,
if its running ok now and shows no signs of being damaged there is no reason
why you should not get many more yrs of service from it.as long as you did
not push the cpu to far and it was adequately cooled there should be no
problem,but yes damage can occur if great care is not taken when
overclocking and is not something you should do unless you know exactly what
you are doing........
