24x7 Power ON

Just wondering, do many of you leave your battlestation on 24x7?

Not just for playing games, or mining but even during idle state as well?

As an IT tech/engineer, I utilise my PC as a learning tool about my OS features and how to re-engineer so that it delivers better performance and so on.

By leaving it on 24*7 it allows me to have that thorough interaction so that if it crashes, I like to be there to analyse the issue and come up with suggestion for easier fixes and bad&good applications.

They say turning the PC ON and OFF too regularly can cause issue to start up source files and drop the lifespan of PSU. Is that true? or is it just some made up story.

I turn mine on when I get home from work, use it off and on throughout the evening and then turn it off before bed. Now with SSD's they start so fast, so it's just to save a few pennies. Plus I like to do a restart once a day anyways just to give it a fresh start if it has updates or anything.

 

Few pennies for SSD, it sure is worth an A.

 

When i used to live with my parents i would let the pc on for days but since i moved with my girlfriend and have to pay bills i hardly let the pc open if i go to work or leave. If i go for a short amount of time i don't bother but i'm talking about longer periods, and there's nothing for which is worth leaving it on.

 

I'll be leaving my parents as well soon, and my 24x7 question change from yes to no.
Good ol days

 

It sure helps with heating up my room
