My rig is always 24/7 switched on, normal use (no overclocking).
Mainly for BT and also surfing. Hate to wait for PC to boot up when I want to go online.
24/7 rig on? 24/7 overclocked?, How do you run your rig?

QUOTE(supercolossal @ May 17 2007, 09:34 AM) Answer to question 1 Totally agree, further to that not many people know that not all PC components are made to run 24/7 especially those less branded ones which are fitted with lower grade components which have a shorter lifespan and higher failure rate. In my opinion, actually only server grade PC component are meant to run 24/7.Any electronic component has a lifespan say x number of years. This means x years for the user to have it powered on. If you leave it on without using it you are basically using up this lifespan needlessly. And overclocking will increase the rate that the lifespan is used up because the parts are being stressed beyond the normal operating conditions. Expect your PC to either fail or have marginal (unstable) behaviour sooner than a normal PC would.  |
