Thermal expansion and contraction is what can lead to the die cracking.
Not really a problem on anything other than laptops with shitty coolers which can reach 110C.
Yeah, and I don’t see the risk being there when you look at the numbers. My CPU is sitting at around 30C right now, and if I shut it down, it might gradually drop by as much as 10 degrees over a period of hours.
But if I start an encode, the temperature will rise by 20-30 degrees in seconds, then drop back down 20-30 degrees in seconds when the encode stops. And if I run some ridiculous synthetic stress testing tool for stability testing an overclock, that could make the core temp shoot up and down by 60 degrees.
I usually leave it on all the time though, because it does server stuff too.
