Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
A thing I haven’t seen being mentioned, is the fact that silicone, the material chips are off of, degrades over time. Typically it will be about a decade before your processor or graphics card shows signs of it, but it can depend. Mainly on how heated the system gets. For example someone who overclocks their PC, may notice it faster than someone who uses it at factory clocks.
