can i leave my computer on 24/7 and not worry about it explodeing its never over heated if that matters.
yeh, mostly, so long as you have a good cooling set up. personally i would think about the environment and turn off/hibernate when you can.
When will be the day, when people will stop beveling that their computer is filled with TNT... it's filled with a Nuke! HAHA! That is correct, if you improperly click on an icon on your computer, or even change you background, especially leaving your computer on 24/7...B00M! Ok seriously, if your computer has proper cooling you are good, and even (if you use your computer a lot) it is preferred to leave it on. Moreover, your computer comes (unless you have cheap ass parts) with an auto-shutdown or underclock (slow down) system to prevent any damage to your hardware. Now by cooling I do not mean that your computer must BE a fan. Your computer can be 100% fan less, passive design and no water cooling.. it's all about your hardware configuration, cooling and computer case engineering. If your computer is good after several hours under heavy load, I think it should be safe to say that your computer can run 24/7. Also, a high-end PSU is recommended, as these are design not to over-heat and perform some self damage or auto-shut down on you. Moreover it will ensure that your computer components are safe from current irregularities (which happens about all the time). Ensure that you have a proper (above 50-60+$Can/US) powerbar, and that your wall plug is properly grounded.
And of course, 'high end' PSU does NOT mean an über-1,6kW-monster-pos, but instead a quality brand, like Corsair, Seasonic, PCP&P etc...
nothing wrong with putting that in. a lot of people dont understand the difference between a psu that puts out a lot of power and one that puts out quality power. pointing that out in addition to what goodbytes wrote is a welcome addition if you ask me.
If you post your computer's specs we will be able to give a more detailed response on how well it will handle 24/7 use.
lmao! Troll attempt my arse. Anyone with any sense knows that cheap PSUs are cheap for a reason. They use crap parts and are rarely reliable. Combine that with 24 hour use and the results might not be pretty...
i have a pretty big fan above the cpu and i have the side of the case off and my room is well vented (its a very small room) and im constantly downloading things so i figure why wait longer just leave it on.
Also, even if your fans go TU, most CPUs and GPUs will shut down before they fry themselves. Usually.
