after researching alot on building pcs i'm going to be building i'm wondering how long they can last and if you can change cpu let say you have a amd3 type motherboard and you want to go for a amd II x 4 that fits on amd3 can youdo that? change to a II x 2 to a IIx4
and also i notice on videos when applying cpu fan doesn't that put preasure on the cpu itselfHow long can custom built pcs last?custom setups depend on your setup. i have one with a massive custom fan that's been around for close to 5 years now. i have ones i've build before that which have been ruining for more than 7. every pc i build, including my servers, have been rock solid, but that's because i build them and i know what i'm doing.
CPUS are somewhat interchangeable but it depends on the socket type and motherboard you are using. you need to use a processor from the same socket family as the one your upgrading from. also some boards don't support some processors, for instance the early 775 boards supported pentium 4 processors but don't support the core2 line even though they are still socket 775.
building your own pc will require a lot of research in making sure you get all your components lined up so that you have a working system with as little %26quot;bottleneck%26quot; as possible and at the same time maintain a good upgrade path for longevity sake.How long can custom built pcs last?It depends on how you use it. I had one I used for ten years and it was still chugging along when I got rid of it. The cpu should be able to take the fan and you have to keep it cool.How long can custom built pcs last?years man and if u can upgrade then decades. like my build is really good

:D this will last me about 5 years and then when i upgreat alot longer lolHow long can custom built pcs last?I guess a lot would depend on how well it was built, and how you use it.How long can custom built pcs last?I would prefer building one rather than buying one. If you buy from the right manufacturer, you can get a lifetime warranty. So I would consider that building one would yield better quality parts.
Regardless what CPU cooler you have, whether it be stock or aftermarket, they all put pressure on the CPU. But they are designed for this.
Yes you can upgrade cpus, however sometimes it may require a bios flash. Which isn't all that hard to do. You just would have to check with the motherboard manufacturer to see if it is compatible with whatever new processor you are wanting to add.
