The cooling system ages - dust accumulates and coolingpaste become less efficient - which in turn can cause more frequent throttling of the cpu. (technically a peripheral to the chp)
- smaddox 8y agoThis is an important and often overlooked aspect of system aging. Heat dissipation is the primary performance bottleneck of modern CPUs (in truly CPU-bound tasks). There's a reason liquid nitrogen/helium cooling can enable dramatic over clocking.
