Re: Bad to run CPU @ 70% capacity for extended time?

Yes, I think running your PC constantly at +70% CPU usage will reduce its lifespan simply due to the constant generation and exhaustion of heat. The question is, is will it reduce the lifespan shorter than the time you intend to buy a new one and junk the one you have? Probably not.
