Desktop question: Why sleep?
Makes sense for laptops. But desktops?
My small white box (intel HD630 graphics) draws very little power.
The power supply's fan doesn't even kick on unless I push the CPU. I usually do not.
No spinning disks.
Stock CPU fan and case fan.
Sleep mode powers down some components.
This puts more stress on them, not less.
The Cool down / heat up cycle attracts condensation, at least in the topics.
So again, why sleep?
