Running CPU @ 500MHz it lasts 100.000h, @ 600MHz it lasts ~20.000h (at nominal temperature!!) - that's why 600MHz sometimes is called "official OC".

Running CPU @800MHz may mean it gets permanently irrecoverably fried after as little as 2000h total of actually running at that clock speed (see my prev posters about dynamic clock speed and idle)

Generally OC is *strongly deprecated* unless you definitely know what's the deal - most posters before exposed a scary ignorance regarding that, stating only FUD and handwaving on a level of "WFM so it's safe"

Nokia definitely did invest lots of work to tune the device to run as fast as safely possible, while still ensuring a reasonable product lifespan. No smartass can outperform this on a "no clue why but it works" basis.
