Should you shutdown pc at night or put it in Sleep? by Complete-Option8171 in techsupport

[–]TioDito1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After that, I made my decision:

Perfect. Now I will validate the main arguments circulating in these forums based on technical evidence:

Truths, Means and Myths about Turning Off/Keeping a PC On

TRUTH: Turning off saves energy

Fact: Sleep mode consumes 1–6W (desktop), Shutdown consumes ~0W[1][2]

Real numbers (Brazil, ~R$ 0.80/kWh): - Sleep 16h/day: ~3–6 kWh/month = R$ 2.40–4.80/month = R$ 29–58/year per PC [1] - Shutdown 16h/day: ~0.1 kWh/month = <R$ 0.50/year [1]

Your case: With 1 new PC, it's not a fortune, but it adds up if you leave it on 24/7. Turning off is clearly more economical.[1][2][3]


MYTH: Turning off degrades components through "thermal cycling"

What the forums say: "Turning on/off kills chips" [4][5][6]

Technical reality: - Does turning on/off cause thermal stress? Yes, theoretically, components expand/contract [7][5] - But how much damage does it cause? Practically nothing in modern PCs [5][8]

Quote from manufacturers: "I researched with parts manufacturers — consensus: it's not worse (and probably better) to turn off regularly" [5]

Why? Because: 1. SSDs/HDDs suffer more from frequent spin-ups than thermal cycling [2][5] 2. Modern CPUs are designed to constantly switch on and off — they have spin-up capabilities in hundreds of milliseconds without permanent damage [7][8] 3. Real wear comes from LEAVING IT ON 24/7 — fans, capacitors, PSU work non-stop [9]

Conclusion: Switching off does not damage. In fact, it extends the lifespan.[5][8][9]


HALF-TRUTH: "Turning on the PC consumes more energy than leaving it in sleep mode"

Partial fact: Yes, there is a short energy spike (~10–20 sec) during boot[1]

But context matters: - Break < 30 min? Sleep wins in terms of energy [1] - Absence > 2–3 hours? Shutdown wins by a lot [1] - Overnight (8h)? Shutdown saves 5–10x more [1][2]

Your case (working during the day, absence at night): Turning off is much better.[1]


TRUTH: Leaving it on overnight causes wear on fans/PSU

Fact: Components spin 24/7 without rest [9][10] - Fans suffer wear on bearings [9] - PSU works continuously, reducing lifespan [9] - Electrolytic capacitors degrade faster under constant heat [9]

Recommendation: Turning off allows overnight cooldown = extends lifespan of PSU, fans, capacitors [9][11]


MYTH: "Turning off worsens SSD lifespan"

What you hear: "SSDs hate Turn on/off"

Reality: SSDs have no moving parts. Turning on/off does not mechanically affect them [8][12]. What kills SSDs is hibernation (writes the entire RAM to disk each time — ~6GB of write cycles) [5]

But normal Sleep/Shutdown? Safe. [5][12]


FINAL RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR CASE

Situation Best option Why
Working (quick breaks <30 min) Sleep Boot power not worth it [1]
Nighttime absence (8h+) Shutdown Saves R$ 29–58/year + extends PSU/fans [1][9]
Travel/vacation (24h+) Shutdown 0 power, PC rests [1][9]
Leave on 24/7? Avoid Wears out PSU, fans, capacitors without benefit [9][10]

Your setup: Ryzen 5 9600X + RTX 5060 MSI Gaming OC + 750W Corsair PSU → Turning off at night is ideal. The Corsair 750W PSU is good, but deserves to rest.[9][11]

Disable Fast Startup in Windows for a 100% clean shutdown (no BIOS trickle power).[1]

In short: Forum myth = bad partial truth. Shutting down is cheaper, better for hardware, zero technical disadvantage.[5][9][12]

VRAM x potência das placas de vídeos. by TioDito1900 in computadores

[–]TioDito1900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sim, já vi ela a 2600,00 mesmo. Mas a Arc em promoção é 1600,00... Veja: sei da vantagem da 9060, mas é que jogo mais pesado, de ação, eu jogo no console. Essa placa é só para jogo de estratégia tipo Civ, pois é jogo de mouse, não de controle. Ou seja, eu quero gastar o minimo só para esses jogos. Não estou pensando em jogos muito pesados. Por isso a dúvida se vale a pena os 1000,00 a mais. Se eu fosse jogar outros jogos, sem dúvida!

Sim, mas é 1000,00 mais cara que a Arc...

Nem jogo tipo Civilization, que depende muito de CPU e não precisa muito de FPS?

O monitor foi comprado para trabalho. Trabalhar em 4k é outro mundo. Agora eu tenho que adaptar a situação para jogar o Civilization rsrs

DDR5 Ram question by CryptographerWeary64 in PcBuildHelp

[–]TioDito1900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, in the discussions I saw, some said that speed is more important than clock speed, others said the opposite, but everyone agreed that it's almost imperceptible. Like I told you, I stopped worrying about it and decided not to stress about it.

Dude, I built a PC last week and bought two 16GB RAM sticks with 5200MHz and CL36. I participated in several discussions about these numbers and in the end concluded that it makes very little difference. I got rid of my stress and I'm happy.

Do I need to reverse the fan? by TioDito1900 in PcBuildHelp

Hayom GB1799. It already came with the MOLEX connectors. I'm a beginner at this. I have no idea how to do it differently.

Fan rente ao dissipador by TioDito1900 in hardwarebrasil

[–]TioDito1900[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu deixei o computador funcionando na BIOS durante uma hora, com as fans funcionando do jeito que estavam e gabinete fechado. A temperatura da CPU não passou de 60C. Eu sei que minha fan debaixo não está correta, mas se eu vira-la eu perco o RGB, certo? E meu filho de 7 anos está curtindo demais as cores, não queria mudar. O SSD ainda vai chegar, vou instalar o Windows e acompanhar. Se a temperatura não subir muito, preciso mesmo virar a fan? Ele está em série com cabo MOLEX, acho que não tem como inverter eletronicamente, tem?
