[QUOTE="Heisen, post: 2487732, member: 103922"] Any processor at stock speeds can for 15 years. Any ram at stock speeds can run for 15 years. With graphics card it depends, if it stays cool and not runs at full load might be able to cross 10 years. SSDs are okay. HDDs is still a gamble. What will not run for 15 years, when power cycled daily. Motherboard. Power supply. Since these have huge number of electrolytic capacitors for filtering, which will dry out or can bulge up because these have limited charge and discharge cycles, and these get severely affected by surrounding high temperature. For power supply it's better to leave its main power on so that its input caps always stay charged. You might be able to run a system for 15 years if it doesn't power cycle everyday. [/QUOTE]
