No, I don't think that Linx hurts your CPU unless you let temps get above what they should be.
But, my friend is scared to run Linx for stability testing when overclocking his i7 920 to 3.2GHz @ 1.25 vcore. He says that it hurts your cpu and you will never push your cpu that hard, so stability testing should just be a few runs of 3dmark.
Comments? I didn't bother trying to explain electromigration or anything like that to him(seemed like a waste of time). I'll show him this thread later if there is some good feedback.
