CPUs do not degrade over time in performance.

@Godlygamer23 how are you sure of this?

Because I had an Intel Celeron for 10 years. It performed the same. And my Intel Pentium Dual Core laptop from 5 years ago performs the same.

It dependent on the heat and voltage they are running at, as well as the time they are running for. Most cpu's may need a bit more voltage to get a higher if running high clocks after a while. It's very cpu dependent.

everything degrades over time, but it's not something noticeable and not something you should worry about, ofcourse it depends abit on the voltage/heat you are trying running it on.

Running it with stock clocks won't effect on performance over time. With high OC (like @Jumper118 said) it might loose ability to hold oc after time. But you really can't notice it since I doubt you'll have same cpu over 10 years.

If you overclock your CPU your silicon will begin to degrade due to the increased voltage, however it's nothing significant unless you raise it to over 1.5V.

This. Running at stock speeds nothing will happen but running overclocked constantly does have an affect over time. It used to be more noticeable in older chips that required a bit more voltage.

Modern CPU's like my friends i5 2500K or my 2570K we just turned the multiplyer up to 42 and took Vcore off of auto and put it at what it already was at so it would stay at a constant 1.xx and has had no stability problems. (I forget his but mine was at 1.12v and has been there ever since at 4.2Ghz)

 

My older cpus just to get a bit high frequency out of them I always had to mess with the voltage to keep it stable. Even at a 200Mhz increase
