Hey everyone! My CPU has been running non-stop for almost two weeks now, and I'm starting to wonder if that's harmful. Do CPUs really need a break, and if so, how can I give mine some rest?

Generally, a CPU can run for a long time without issues as long as itโ€™s in a good environment. Things like keeping it dust-free and ensuring it's cool help a lot. I once had a server that ran for 1500 days straight without a hitch!

ServerGuy88: Who needs updates when you're running so smoothly, right?
