is it true?

I usually don't turn off my pc because I usually allow my char to auto mine, my friend said it would kill both mg motherboard and my gpu is that true?

All my parts are covered for 5years warranty zo it shouldn't be a problem right?

Mining may shorten the lifespan. But your covered under warranty so do you really care? I wouldn't.lol

If it's not on full load everyday then it's fine.

Unless you have server grade hardware, it's a good idea to shut down/sleep occasionally; consumer grade hardware isn't meant for 24/7 operation.

Mining with a GPU may shorten the lifespan slightly, if the temperatures aren't kept under control. :)

Though works it, perhaps, but for how long?

So unless he faints, it should work for years?

if your psu is crap, that's gonna kill everything before any other consumer grade hardware of the system fails in the first place. the easiest way to see shortened lifespans is to find a maximum 100% stable overclock of your cpu and gpu just as a marker, you're not going to be running at that speed. if couple years or months later you cant achieve that overclock anymore (or you achieve it and now get errors), there you go, its dying
