I keep mine running 24/7 because it puts less thermal wear on the hardware. But I pay a flat rate for my electricity included in my rent, so it doesn’t cost any extra.
May I ask how does turning it off cause more wear and tear? From my understanding, running it constantly wears it out, but I’ve never heard that turning it off causes it to thermal wear?
Thermal expansion and contraction is what can lead to the die cracking.
Not really a problem on anything other than laptops with shitty coolers which can reach 110C.
