cancer research day and 24/7 folding?

[Froger]

Hi all,
When I first got my pc ages ago I tried folding for a bit... But didnt see the light and stopped soon after... But due to cancer research day coming up I have decided to start up again with my upgraded CPU. But for this day... I want to do 24 hour folding... For a whole week... Only stopping for when I need the power... Like gaming or video editing/rendering. But my question is... If I were to leave my pc on folding at 100% GPU and CPU for 7 days straight... On a stock cooler at stock clock and a stock clock 760 with a reference cooler. Could that cause any damage at all... Should there be break times... Or is it normal for PC's to be built to withstand hours of burning through folding.
Thanks in advance.

Should be fine as long as you don't have an overclock.

You should be fine. I ran my previous card (580) pretty much 24/7 for over a year and I didn't have any major temp issues (I only had to replace the thermal paste a couple of times). Folding for a week will be nothing for your CPU and GPU

Thanks for contributing

Nice to see someone else joining in!!!

Don't forget you can set your prefered cause to help when folding - and cancer is one you can select!
