on and off VS on all the time

#1 Post by mannyace » Mon Jul 19, 2004 12:47 pm

- on for the day, then turn off at night and start again the next day
- always on (not standby etc) with screensaver enabled and/or monitor turned off

what is better?

i heard that on and off distorts the comp peices cuz heat stretches it and then when comp is off its cold and it compresses... but i hear its bad to have the comp on all the time unless u use standby or hibernate

i hear the best way is keep it on all the time, or turn it off with periodical turn ons. because things decay faster without activity.

all of mine just turn off monitor, thats it.

if you turn it off and on all of the time.. your power supply will die faster than if you leave it on all of the time.
