Howdy.

Another dumb question, to hang proudly in my "Great Hall of Dumbness". What kills these devices? Heat? Electron erosion? Tunneling fatigue? Seriously, I thought electronic  devices pretty much lasted forever, I have items with chips in them that still function after thirty plus years. I mean, I'm not crying over my GPU's, here in a month they'll be worthless if they're not already, but my CPU I'd like to keep (no, I don't CPU mine, for that and other obvious reasons), but I'm just curious why I keep seeing references  to "destroying" or "wear" of GPU's and CPU's. I do a lot of ray-tracing, am I killing my machine doing that also? I know nothing lasts forever...
