Dumb question

[jordguitar]

I think I might be the one to blame here, turning my case sideways was probably a bad idea the first time and an even worse idea the 2nd time. The case fans seem to be working properly and the HDD seems to be fine buy yeah, If the system is stable and I've not had random reboots/shut downs does that mean It's all fine and dandy or will I have to wait for something to fail? (I doubt I'd get an RMA for this)

EDIT: But it's a double-ball bearing, I thought those were superior ._.

The fan is being stressed in a different way now that it is in a different orientation. New stresses mean new wear and tear. Although you will not be able to really notice it for a few years.

you dont need to

When explaining something, it's always best to use improper grammar and vague wording to make sure the people reading it understand the explanation. Gotcha.

Just because something is dubbed "superior" doesn't mean it can withstand everything you could possibly throw at it - it's still just a fan motor and the components inside are still fragile. Hard drives typically have sensors inside when something is outside of parameters(for example, if the hard drive is falling). At that point, the platters will stop spinning to protect the drive. That being said, if you don't notice anything strange(like hard drives making funny noises), you're probably fine.

I only changed orientation for half a minute both times, I was just trying to sort out my other issue connected to airflow.

I honestly feel depressed. . . .

It's fine. Stop worrying.

Depression is not necessary.

I simply cannot afford to have the PC fail on me since replacing even 1 part strains my financial situation. The old TT psu was whining, clicking and god knows what so I got a seasonic hoping that would guarantee me some form of relief. But yeah, I still don't understand why it doesn't constantly tick but only once every 30 seconds or so.

It's fine. Really really fine. Just turn it off next time when you need to tilt it if you are this worried about it.

So I ran Aida64 Stability Test and it seems to have stopped (not sure why or for how long) I really hope everything is fine and lasts for a good 4-5 years

How did it stop? Just crashed?

I mean the ticking. The only things I hear now are fans and the slight buzz of the voltage regulation. Hard drive also seems to be okay (I've been told Red drives are sturdy) and after restart everything posts and seems normal.

Less noise is always good.

Yup and now here's hoping I have not damaged my HDD or anything else. I swear, this is the last time I move my PC while it's powered on (I have a habbit of slightly changing it's position every now and again while power on)

[don_svetlio]

And it's back again, possibly getting louder. I give up, I just give up.
