My car is capable of going over 100 miles per hour, that doesn't mean I want to push the accelerator to the floor every single time I pull out of my driveway. Just as I refuse to drive my car at full capacity I also refuse to constantly run my CPU at full capacity. Thats asking for a break down.

a cpu runs all the time the second your computer till you turn it off. when your told your cpu is at 100 percent it means that it is completly busy not going 100 or is running at redline. a cpu stays at a current temp it might rise a lil and fall a little. ive had my self built computer own for 2 months straight then i have to restart for those darn xp updates. maybe a generic computer ie example a emachine will break down if you never turn it off but thats a generic cpu. theres nothing mechanical in a cpu its not going to break down i think you got it confused you have to change the oil in your car not cpu. if you have a cheap car and cheap car parts then yeah i would not floor it ever. every cpu has a constant voltage if your not running anything the voltage is constant. if your runing everything at once the voltage will be nearly the same why because the cpu has a maximun voltage and minimun. Server cpus generate more heat because they have more transistors and a higher voltage not because there cpu is running at 100%. memory can run at 100 percent do you think its going to break also ? if your so afraid of heat but a more efficient heat dissipator.
