If cooling is adequate and you have the bill payers permission

But actually yes

 

As long as it doesnt overheat, it's good. Just make sure to clean dust filters weekly. If you do that, you can run it as long as you want safely

31 hours a day, 11.932 days a week :D 

 

So long as you have good cooling, doesn't matter much.

generally mining is done 24/7 on a dedicated mining machine. if this is your main PCand will be using it in any other capacity, forget about mining. like the others have said if you dont pay for your own electricity, be prepared to explain the extra $100-$200 a month on their power bill

That's very cool

 

Puns aside thats a very safe operating temp. Even if it got up to 74ºC it'd proabbly be okay.

Because it's not my power in that case, it gives me far more reason not to abuse it. It's quite a jerk thing to do unless you pay the difference.
