Fan/CPU Usage

Expand Post »
I use a Gameboy emulator called VisualBoyAdvance. When you press space, it speeds up the emulator very fast, which makes using the game so much easier. However, that puts a lot of strain on my CPU, and therefore my fan. I want to know if overuse of this function may result in damaging my hardware.

Re: Fan/CPU Usage

But, will this cause damage in a low amount of time? Like, in the next month or whatever? It drives my CPU usage to like 80% or so and makes my fan spin very loudly.

Re: Fan/CPU Usage

Intel Centrino. It's about a year old. I'm just asking if intense fan usage will cause the system to die or age faster.
