I've installed this thing that you turn on when your computer's idle to use your unused CPU cycles to find cures for various diseases. I'm going to be at school all day, so I've given it permission to use basically my entire computer. Could it hurt my computer to run at full capacity all day and all night?

providing the cooling system is good on it, it shouldnt be a problem

Assuming that the computer is a desktop, it should not. They are designed to run 24/7
If it is a laptop, they do not always have the best airflow, and if not properly ventilated can overheat. You want to make sure you have a couple inches of open space all the way around a laptop so the air can flow through.
I have had my computers on 24/7 for years without any problems.

hi there
you can have your CPU runnig for hours on high usage, but any more than 6 and you are entering risky areas.
You may wish to think about upgrading your FAN and HEATSINK. What i mentioned above is for the OEM parts! You will not want one that is silent, or fanless. these are designed for people who want it to be silent, and not used to the maximum.
You may wish to consider a water colling system. although they have massive consequences when they fail, they are very good at their job! Ive had mine for two years without problems!!
Your CPU is designed to be used at its maximum all the time. they must check the device for this function and make sure it works.
so if your CPU is less than 2 years old, you are perfectly safe.
I dont think having software test your system for "deseises" is a good idea though. What im talking about is a gamers machine, and it works fine. but this software - is it trustworthy???

i don't understand what style of alternator your bike has, yet while that could be a separate unit (not one on the top of the crankshaft), you're waiting to discover the capability output curve for it. Delco Remy shows such curves for vehicle purposes on their information superhighway internet site. in the experience that your bike is eastern, it would be something like a Denso and if ecu, it ought to be Bosch or Lucas. discover out the producer of the alternator, get on their information superhighway internet site and spot in the event that they positioned up output curves. If not, attempt contacting them simply by fact i'm particular that someplace and at sometime, they have examined their products. merely like dynoing an engine. whether you don't understand the gearing ratio between the engine and alternator, in case you will discover your style alternator, that is going to furnish you a concept. in case you hit upon a chart and it shows, say 40 amps output at 15,000 rpm, merely backtrack to the 32 amp point, see what the alternator rpm is and bypass down from there. Output curves at the instant are not linear and in assessment to an engine dyno chart, they seem greater like the torque curve than the horsepower curve. In different words, double the linked fee and you do not inevitably double the output.

In theory I'd say if your PC has a sufficient cooling system it might be OK, but I wouldn't do it though...paranoia! So I wouldn't suggest it either. But I'm not 100% clear on what you mean either. He he.

Do a test if it's OK after an hour.It will be OK to leave on for hours at a time

One of my client did that, and his CPU overheated (with a decent sink/fan) and burn the board, not sure about the others but its your choice.
