Shelf Life

[Epicurus]

Whats the life span of a prommie in Hours of Usage????

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

You're looking at 10 years mate on average for the Mach II, ST and *possibly* the GT, although the GT is a bit of an unknown in that department. It's certainly not going to be anything less than that.

More that I thought.. Was thinking more off 5-7 years.. Kool

cheers for the prompt reply phil

 

[aXeR]

what kind of usage is that per day tho? i tend to have my PC on 24/7 (too lazy to turn it off ) is this a problem?

Once again, cheers phil!

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

1 hour a day

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

joke.

 

[aXeR]

not funny so any ruff ideas?

 

[tc_overclocker]

Well when was the last time you turned your fridge off??

 

[Epicurus]

But does your fridge run all the time or does it come on and off to maintain its temp????

 

[aXeR]

good point epic

 

[Epicurus]

would be very intresting to know how long a prommie will last if left one 24/7

 

[tc_overclocker]

I thought the only reason certain fridges came on and off were mainly to save power... I would imagine leaving on constantly wud do a lot less damage than turning on and off due to expansion and contraction of materials
