xycho_g Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 is it ok for home desktops or pc's to be open at an average of lets say 6 days a week? ung tipong walang pahinga. iniiwan lang bukas kapag kakain, tapos iiwan din bukas kpg matutulog na dahil may tinatapos na madownload. basta palaging bukas ung pc. ok lng b or madaling masira? ano naman ang unang massira? need your opinions here...tnx...

thirteen Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 First thing that will probably fail are the fans on the PSU, then probably either the CPU or video cooling fans. Next to fail will be the hard disks, since they're almost always kept spining. In the office, we've had to replace 5 PSUs because of the fans failing, and they all happened within 3 months. If you've got a brand new PC, you shouldn't worry too much. The parts will usually last around 16 months before the fans start to fail. Quote Link to comment
Gobernador Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 computers namin sa office bihira namin patayin. COMPAQ server namin since 1998 less than 20x pa siguro pinapatay. its all about proper ventilation i think. just make sure na walang sagabal doon sa area ng kanyang exhaust fan. an AVR would be helpful as well para sa power surges. mahal UPS saka since home use lang naman no need.

blitzz127 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i agree. kung may proper ventilation and ndi fluctuating ang power supply, kahit n plgi nakabukas ang PC eh wla problema. yung mga operator stations sa power plants nmin eh maghapon-magdamag nakabukas pero ndi nmn nasisira. very seldom na patayin nmin ang mga yun.

cruesome Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i have my linux box open 24/7. and yes it is open, without the desktop cover. can't afford ako mag aircon 24/7 kaya tinanggal ko na lang yung cover. yung casing naman only has a 100watt powersupply so di gaano magastos sa kuryente firewall/NAT box ko to, but then i surf and download torrents off this box Quote Link to comment

I think dapat may proper ventilation PC mo para tumagal yang PC mo even it is open for 24 hours . Nakakasira rin din kasi ung alikabok at dust sa PC, if you can's afford to buy aircon linisan mo na lang lagi ung PC mo sa pamamagitan ng blower para matanggal ung mga dust but be careful because delicate din ang parts ng computer huwag punasan ng basa or matuluan ng basa . Nangyari na nga sa cousin ko na habang nililinis niya ang kanyang PC natuluan ng pawis ung motherboard niya kaya un palit siya agad.hehehehehehehehehe!!! the best way pa din na patayin or give your PC some rest because it save a lot of energy...

xycho_g Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 is it ok kng i have an 1 intake fan and 2 outtake na fan may isang nakatutok na electric fan sa cpu?...kahit walang aircon?....how will you know if you have a proper ventilation for your comp?.... Quote Link to comment
zij11zk Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 depends on what type of pc unit you have... kung mga server class "mission critical" blah blah ....i guess these units are designed for extended operation... basta importante yung environment ng pc... good ventilation (air conditioned if possible) will lessen load on the hardware... best to have a back up unit... at least you can alternate to the other from time to time.... companies nowadays have back up systems in other areas in case of disaster.... always a good idea to give the unit some down time once in a while....

EFF-EXS Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Kung home pc, maaring masira nga agad. Lahat naman dadaan sa normal wear and tear. Even yung mga nasa controlled environment. Yun nga lang mas mabilis ang deteriration ng mga pc's na minemaintain sa bahay kesa sa mga nasa opisina. Better to savor it while it lasts. Quote Link to comment

Boy_Ulo Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I guess it could be as long you have a good ventillation and a room air conditioner like what a Microcomputer room control have! Quote Link to comment
