  • Some people put their PCs to sleep to save energy, some people DISABLE sleep so they always have access, but what's the best solution for you? Whether a PC should be set to hibernate, sleep, or be shut off depends on the situation, and your personal preferences regarding gluten-free food. Don't ask me how that works in, it just does.

    I turn off my PC, unplug it, and then completely disassemble it and place all of the components in static resistance bags, and then I reassemble it when it's time to start back up.

    • @BrennenSprimont92
      @BrennenSprimont92 9 лет назад +1

      +michael mckinlay Programs use RAM space to store temporary data. A good programmer will remove his data and free up the space the instance the temporary data isn't useful anymore. Memory leaks occur when a programmer fails to free up and "release" the space.

    • @TheFPSPower
      @TheFPSPower 9 лет назад

      +michael mckinlay I think its when a file will not get removed from the ram after its been used, it keeps taking up space until you're left with no ram and pc slows down. Don't quote me on this though.

  • @wheelieblind
    @wheelieblind 3 года назад +2

    Best advice is to hibernate instead of sleep if you are going to one of the 2 instead of shutdown... but I suggest that you save your work first and exit if you were typing something in a password protected document for example. It does not matter if you have a hard disk drive or not as either way it should not take too long to turn back on, it should still be faster then if you just booted up the computer instead.

    I have had pc since the first one came out in the 80’s. i upgraded every 5 years or so. I only turned them off when a reboot was needed. I do not remember many failures. One of my old old mechanical hard drives finally failed after at least 10 years. I usually used old hard drives as extra internal ones when I upgraded computers. You give great advice. Your videos are very detailed and as accurate as can be. Many people just like to mess with their computers. They go nuts when it takes 10 seconds longer to boot up because they boot up many times a day. I always left mine on all the time. The first pcs did not have operating systems with hibernate or sleep modes. My first one only had DOS. windows wasn’t invented yet. I agree with everything you say. I just don’t care about saving a few cents per day on electricity and prefer to only spend the time necessary on my computer. So leaving it on suits my personality and lifestyle. I think I will consider using that hybrid mode that I never understood until this video. Thanks for a great video.

    I almost always just completely shut it down. Sometimes I'll put it to sleep if I'm going to use it again very soon. But rarely. I usually just shut it down I have an SSD so it boots up real fast anyway. I never leave it running all the time. No matter what people say it actually does wear out your hardware quicker.

    Perfectly valid for computers running old, almost extinct HDD's, now with SSD's without moving parts and increased malware and hacking activities, the safest way to protect your computers is to shutdown it every single time you are getting away from it.

    I let my pc sleep like me, I never shut it down unless I'm gonna be away for a day or more,
    (very rare) and I've never had any problems with it. You only really shut it down if you're incredibly penny pinching, you're only gonna save maybe a few dollars at the most with it, but you're gonna be waiting like 5 minutes every morning for it to start up. Convenience > Penny Pinching

    Maybe it's only been discovered since this video was made, but I have read that you actually shouldn't use hibernate on an SSD as you're writing potentially large amounts of data to it and therefore using up its write cycles.

      Btw I sleep from 11pm to 5am and my schedule is
      -Eat Breakfast + Coffee
      -Morning Jog
      -Work
      -1.5 Hours at the gym
      -Sleep
      And this schedule requires me to sleep the same amount of time every night so I can fit all of these into my schedule every day.

I noticed some improvement in my computers 'health' having opted into powering down nightly and will definitely continue to do so having lots of experience with both. But everyone's gonna have a different opinion I'm sure, and when all said and done, my computer worked fine with either method.

      +Daxxie GFX (Gaming) It's like what Linus said, doing this isn't going to dramatically deteriorate the components to the point where they're going to die in a relatively short amount of time.
      Every component dies eventually. The point is to have them last long enough for your needs. For example, I tend to replace my GPU every 2-3 years (I usually get the highest or second highest tier in a given period of time). Because of this, it's of less concern to me if my particular practices leads to my GPU having a greater risk of failing at year four instead of that same risk existing at year six. This is of a greater concern to those that replace their GPUs less frequently, and of zero concern to those that upgrade every year.

    I am rendering in Adobe AME and need to transport my laptop without shutting down and losing my render progress. So I need to know if hibernation or sleep mode would be okay to transport my laptop safely without the hdd beig damaged. Looks like hibernation is my best bet.

    I have an ssd and only 8gb ram and waking up from hibernation takes way longer than booting normally. The ssd was more expensive than the entire pc.

      @EnricoDias 8 лет назад +1

      Sata3, 500Mb/s sequential read.

    • @EnricoDias
      @EnricoDias 8 лет назад

      There isn't a bottleneck. The OS probably doesn't need to read 8gb from the ssd to boot.

    • @Chuckiele
      @Chuckiele 8 лет назад

      Waking up from hibernation with an SSD is way faster than with an HDD but it obviously isnt faster than booting normally because booting normally with an SSD is also faster than with an HDD. Especially when running WIndows 8 or 10: Those have a feature called Fast Boot which is basically semi hibernation. It writes everything system relevant to the hard drive but not the programs you are running so that it will boot very quickly. And what do you think is faster: Copying 1GB from SSD to RAM or copying 2-8GB? It just depends on your needs. Maybe youre running many programs sorted in a special way on your monitors. Then the few seconds faster boot isnt worth it preparing everything again, instead of just hibernating.

    • @NovaDoll

    • @EnricoDias
      @EnricoDias 8 лет назад

      prettylolitadoll my computer boots in 2 or 3 seconds (from bios to login screen). In order to wake up from hibernation in 2 seconds it needs to read 4Gb/sec from the SSD and the sata interface itself will limit it to 600Mb/seg.

      +Robert Rismyhr If you're not really using the PC and have all the power saving options well configured it really can go on with ALL fans off. No dust build at all with the fans stopped. Well, maybe on the top of the case but you know what i mean :|

    • @pyre78

      +Gabriel Knight No fans on means no cooling, on a computer that is on. This sounds like a terrible idea.

    • @robertrismyhr
      @robertrismyhr 9 лет назад +26

      pyre78 Passive cooling via the heatsinks with the fans off can be enough in idle. My psu for example rarely uses its fan because it doesn't have to, even when gaming.

    • @Angel_EU34
      @Angel_EU34 9 лет назад +3

      +pyre78 I understand your concern but heatsinks DO a lot of passive cooling on their own. When turned on but idle my 4770K rests at just 800mhz with 1-2% load and i can keep it that way for hours with an increase in temp of just 7-8 degrees (celsius).

    For Desktops... You might want to turn it off AND unplug it if Lightening is in the area. For all computers... Another good reason to shut it off (or at least sleep or hibernate) is to protect your computer from Viruses (i.e. even though you aren't doing anything, someone else may remotely penetrate your defenses and access it while it's unattended).
