Is it okay to leave my PC on all night?

And a few extra hours (7-8) so in total like 16 hours.

specs:

i5-4440

2tb Seagate hdd internal 

Is this okay? Because I'm worried about my CPU And HDD, the hdd activity led light flashes every 20 seconds and I have tf2 open is that okay?.

Temps are not a problem and never will be, right now it's at like 45-50 Celsius with one fan running (it's one tiny ass case) the i5 I'm most worried about incase it fries from being on too long. Is that possible? 

I turned my monitor off if that helps, cpu usage hovers around 20%-30%.

I have TF2, steam, rhythmbox and sys monitor open

I am doing this to use an afk bot and farm items and get my hours up, lmfao

thanks if any other info is needed ask please

Yes.  

Check for dust once in awhile, otherwise go nuts and leave it on for a year at a time.

 

I use to have issues handshaking to my monitors with my "retired" 280x when computer was put to sleep or shut off.

So I would just leave my system on for 3-4 months at a time, maybe get 1 crash then restart it and another 2-4 months

 

if you have a Legitimate version of windows, you'll likely want to do your updates as well to keep your security bolstered.

Leave it on for 4 years if you want, it's fine.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Yes, it's fine. That's what I do on my boxes: I went on a trip and let my PC on for 2 weeks straight, happily doing maths at 100% load. Don't worry about it.

 

Just please, if you are going to do it, then donate the unused CPU power to distributed computing, as I doubt TF2 farming needs 100% CPU usage.

Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer? Then join World Community Grid distributed computing, and start helping the world to solve it's most difficult problems!
