Well I wasn't going to post anymore because this seemed to be going round the houses - on and then off but in any case basically (and as GeneO has pointed out) if you run an electric current through anything from copper cable to semi conducting material - or materials that resist the current flow it is a known fact that this will cause a gradual degradation within the carrying material.
Plus if too much current is passed through the material it will destroy that material/s of those devices / carriers eventually and the higher current the quicker the degradation / destruction of those materials.
A good example of a devices materials degrading is the memory blocks in SSD's by the loss of very small amounts of the components through the constant write / rewrite process.
Why do they put thermo couples in CPU's? - to help prevent that from happening in either a catastrophic or insidious manner.
