Re: Is Downgrading to an Older Version Better for Bitcoin Core Synchronization?
~they are only intended for very basic tasks and any intensive tasks can damage the hardware due to throttling.
CPU throttling is the last thing that damages hardware. Decent computer hardware doesn't get damaged from intensive tasks. If it breaks, it was flawed already. The most common problem is probably dust in the CPU fan, especially on CPUs with high TDP. That's easy to fix by cleaning the fan.
