Do CPU's slow down as they age? My CPU is about 6/7 years old and runs a good 10 - 18 hours a day. I am sure it used to process faster. Cars lose hp over time so can the same happen to a CPU?
 
Its pretty well maintained. I do re image it about every 6 months... not by choice though.
According to task manager I have 96 processes, 53 are hidden.

The CPU is over clocked but stable.

Football manager is my bench mark and if I left it on to run on holiday mode, it could complete a season in 45 mins. Now it takes 2 hours to do the same thing.
 
hmmmm, yeah even though I have a top case fan, a side case fan, 2 on the cooler in push/pull, 2 in the front and a GPU with 3 on board fans, it does get hot in the case. I last hoovered it out in Jan this year.

The thought of re building the OS brings me close to tears. I have a finely installed machine with all my applications set up and configured just so.

Maybe the answer is a faster CPU ;)
