Will streaming from a CPU kill or harm it?

[OnionRings]

I do youtube here and there, have pc parts inbound for my first rig, but it doesn't have a GPU yet, I know you can stream on a cpu and a gpu but my question is will it destroy my cpu to stream on it? Obviously if I push its max threshhold without proper cooling and all that it will but I mean under a decent load but with the right cooling and stuff, will it lessen the life span? Should I wait until I can get a GPU and stream off that? BTW im talking about streaming through an Elgato HD60 and OBS, not talking about PC streaming, I mean PS4 streaming using the Elgato and OBS as helpers or w/e, even though the Elgato handles most of the work you still need a decent pc to run the software and encode/decode and all that.

lol if it doesn't overheat  no it wont

You can do it even no notebooks with crap cooling, ofc you can do it on a regular desktop as well....

anything will kill your cpu

I figured not, but just wanted to make sure. On a side note what is the program Linus and his buddies use to test cpu temps and stuff? Jayz2cents also uses it, I wanna get it when I get my pc set up to make sure I have proper cooling.

You staring at it might.

If you want to test your cooling, use Prime95. Techtubers usualy use AIDA64, but if you want to really evaluate your cooling capacity, Prime95 is the way to go.

 

It's also good for CPU and RAM stability testing, so that's a plus.

Um... no.

 

If you don't have a CPU cooler or something it would, but that's just because it's intensive load rather than the particular task at hand.

I sometimes stream with my crappy i3 and it's never broken lol.

actually, only heat will

if you run 0.1v through a copper wire, it will last as long as a copper wire with 0v through it

this is because the first wire wont heat up with 0.1v

 

a CPU heats up, and that causes wear

more heat = more wear

Thanks all
