dreamlander SG Hi, i just wanna need some advice.^^ Do anyone had any idea will my comp spoilt if i left it switch on for 24 hrs a day for nearly 1 month? or wats the minimum amount of rest do a comp need per week? tkz~
kc_leung SG You can leave your comp on for years even... it won't complain but your electric bill will
kc_leung SG A lot of people in my hall leave their comp on all the time so that they can share files. They switch it off only if they've to move to another room at the end of semester.
WiNtEr'SkiLL SG leave it on until it over heats and dies but it wont over heat that easily if u have a fan
dreamlander SG oh wow that's gd. Cuz I'm worried abt my comp getting too heated up and burn. I got a friend who left his comp running non-stop for around 4 months and he told me his fans stop working and his mother board burn.
ditzy SG There is always a 1/10000000 chance that might happen, its just whether you want to take it.
Patrik SG It happened to me. I think it was on for ard 3 months. But i only used it on Sats and Sun. My sisters OVERUSED it.
launtpc SG You have to monitor temperatures. Motherboard "burnt" is not possible unless you have your PC on during a thunderstorm and you have no electric regulator or whatever you call that thing that prevents electric overflow.
sinicker SG hehehe.. imagine NETS/VISA/MASTERCARD.. "sorry ah customers, we scared our computer spoil, so we switch off. sorry."
ditzy SG I know this guy who doesn't even have a casing for his cpu. I'll laugh when all that dust shorts his motherboard one day. Call himself an electrical engineer somemore.
bo liao SG lik me open left & top casing… then blow wid home fan….seriously.. no joking, but got dust..
