😱CPU degradation is a real thing that happens due to electromigration.
⚠️Immediate CPU failure is rare, but gradual degradation can occur.
🔋Overclocking and voltage increases can increase the risk of degradation.
🧪Stress testing can detect potential issues, but it may also accelerate degradation.
💡Most users don't need to worry about CPU degradation, as modern processors are designed to last long.
Is CPU degradation a common issue?
—Immediate CPU failure is rare, but gradual degradation can occur over time.
Can overclocking and voltage increases cause CPU degradation?
—Yes, pushing your CPU beyond its recommended limits can increase the risk of degradation.
How can I test if my CPU is experiencing degradation?
—Stress testing can help detect potential issues, but it may also accelerate degradation.
Should I be worried about CPU degradation?
—For most users, CPU degradation is not a significant concern, as modern processors are designed to last long.
How can I ensure the longevity of my CPU?
—Avoid excessive overclocking, voltage increases, and unnecessary stress testing to maintain CPU health.
