GPU degrades faster from dust and heat neglect
1 min read
Graphics cards can last 8, 10 years but fail earlier from self-inflicted causes. Dust buildup raises temperatures, causing thermal throttling that degrades VRAM chips and VRMs above 100°C. Excess heat and dust force fans to spin faster, shortening the GPU's lifespan.
