venetis Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If i ran an h100i 15 hours per day for 2 months and with cpu on maximum , will that reduce its lifespan or cause any fail on pump or even leak ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 honestly the more anything is used the shorter its lifespan will be,its just common deduction but running the cpu at full load in that time frame shouldnt accelerate the hydro's lifrspan as long as it stays within its cooling parameters.

venetis Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lets say its 15 with normal usage h100i wont have any problem ? What are the cooling parameters for it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 with a 15 % load its not really even being taxed so temps wouldnt even be a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 you mean 15 hours normal usage? so like... 15-30% load? ya not much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venetis Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Propably half hours load half hours idle . But hypothetically 15 hours maximum usage wouldnt be suitable for h100i ? Could a nh d14 or thermalight cope up with that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 there are different types of full loads stressing the gpu,the ram,the cpu or combinations of all and more.i dont know of anyone that has actually ran their units this way. why not try it and in your link notifications you can set your computer to shut down when and if a certain threshold is reached,,of course tho the computer will safely shut down if Tjmax is reached. i run my 2600 at 90% every evening for at least a couple hours,no problem,temp on cpu hangs at mid-high 40's.

Synthohol Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 all my computers run 24/7 OC'd and i have no issues, i found that the powering up and down is where the components get the most stressed and increase the likelihood of failure. heating, cooling, heating, cooling, expanding and contracting is where problems start whereas if they are just run constantly the chance of failure is reduced dramatically. the MTBF for the H100i is like 6.8 years so even running it 24/7 will not be an issue.

wytnyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 your right syntohol it is better to let it run 24/7 as this was how they were initially designed but i think the op was talking about running his system constantly on full load for long periods of time.

Synthohol Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 running his system constantly on full load for long periods of time. system load has no impact on the lifespan of the H100i, its gonna run the same regardless of the load on the system. the only thing that may is if the temps are too hot like over 70c i used to fold (F@H) 24/7 on all 4 cores AND my GPU for a few years and the PCs never ran better!
