Can folding degrade the performance of components

[WhatComesAround]

So i have an i3 and it is running at a 100% and the temps are at around 50-59 c , and I would like to know if the performance of parts could possibly worsen over time and use (folding)

No, PC parts don't "wear out" they will work or don't. No in between, unless its something like overheating and throttling

they will degrade, but as long as you have those kinds of temps, you wont notice it

important note: if you are folding you should remember to clean your fan filters more often like 2 times a month

My pc is in a dusty corner, away from my monitor so I do it every week

twice a week is a little overkill i think personally i cleaned my pc for the first time this weekend, i didnt have to clean much haha, was almost nothing (3 months+ of usage)
