Hi,
Not sure if this is discussed here - But wanted to check if there are any long term effects on the GPU/CPU/ Motherboard if I keep the PC running for mining - without breaks . I stop the mining process once in a day and give a break for 30 minutes . I have attached an additional fan ( in total there are 3 fans in the setup)

Here are the CPU/GPU temperatures on a normal day -

+- ASUS PRIME Z270-P (/mainboard)
+- Intel Core i7-6700K (/intelcpu/0)
|  +- CPU Core #1    :     45 (/intelcpu/0/temperature/0)
|  +- CPU Core #2    :     54 (/intelcpu/0/temperature/1)
|  +- CPU Core #3    :     49 (/intelcpu/0/temperature/2)
|  +- CPU Core #4    :     55 (/intelcpu/0/temperature/3) 
+- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (/nvidiagpu/0)
+- GPU Core       :   63 (/nvidiagpu/0/temperature/0)  - Goes to 73
GPU Fan : 1246 RPM

In addition, the CPU is cooled by a copper tubed ( coolermaster hyper 212) and the Graphics card ( EVGA geforce 1070 ) comes with twin fans.
The temperatures in CPU goes upto  80 sometimes and the GPU goes to 70 sometimes.


Wanted to know if the components will burn out / wear out faster than the usual lifespan if I keep it as a dedicated machine for mining 24/7

Any pointers are appreciated.

Yes. Heat usually reduces the lifespan of electronics.
Lots of factors into it but mainly causes the solder joints to crack and onboard capacitors to go bad.


If you keep it cool enough then it will not be an issue and the components will last their regular time.
