How periodic load affects on deterioration of processor?

Hello,

 

At specific full load I have periodic drops of processor frequencies from 3.17 GHz (turbo boosted) to 2.4 (Nominal) and than to 3.17 and on and on with period of near 30s. In this case i have temperature vibrations with height nearly 7 *C from (77 to 70 in average).

graph length - 2 minutes

So i want to know, how this affects to processor service life and if you can tell me, how quick temperature transients affects on processor deterioration.

Processor - INTEL CORE i7 - 3630QM (2.40 GHz)

on notebook Dell inspiron 7720

Thank You!

This won't affect processors' life. The processor is robust enough to handle it.

Hello!

As I understand, processors designed so that even larger quick changes in temperature do not affect its components in long time period.

Thank you.
