Querries about PC usage

[SunnyChahal]

The GPUs will be idle while on normal work or dling. The GTU temps will be down to bottom and the GPU fans will be running at lowest speeds. U can manually turn down their speeds to lowest using rivatuner. But make sure they are hiked up back before starting any game.

The only thing gonna worn out are fans. Their bearings has a maximum rated lifetime of work and the lifetime cud be stretched if they are turning at lower speeds.

If ur system is gonna run foe very long time and at absolutely no loads , then i recommend u to plug off some system fans coz heat wont be issue, but dust maybe.

Or use the system in ur siggy for dls and free the burden off your 8800GTS SLI

celeron is gud at handling dls

i would use that config if i had it!!but HDD is only 128 MB

I think it can handle till 80GB. Just plug in ur IDE hdd and see. Then use it as a download RIG Best option!

Use a blower to clean ur PC components!
Its easier to use and doesn't require to remove ur hardware!

i am used to keeping my PC on for say days together.
only time i shut it off when there is a power failure, typically on thursdays.
i have never faced any problems with my system.
so be rest assured and if you are still worried follow above advice to monitor system temperatures.
