minus-square87Six@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·21 days ago Aren’t GPUs made to run at full power without wear? That’s just textbook propaganda from hardware manufacturers. They can say it because technically the change from cold to hot damages components… Not the actual heat… Afaik. Also, thermal throttling tanks performance, especially in CPU’s. It causes massive hitching or even crashes.
