HOW TO KEEP YOUR COMPUTER WORKING WHILE YOU SLEEP

Ok. Lets forget about energy savings a powerful PC is meant to be utilized! And this is the reason as to why I will pass you through ways on how you can utilize your PC whether you are sleeping or at work.


The great part about your computer is that [unlike you] it doesn't require any sleep. Take advantage of your PC by automating time and processor-intensive tasks while you're sleeping. Below I will talk about the tasks you can give to your Computer so you can fully Utilize it. Start these processes before you clock out for the evening or as you start off to work. To make sure they run as quickly as possible, set your computer's power management for high performance and turn off other tasks that might interfere, such as Windows and application updates and other processes.

Backup & Update


A lot of us have emphasized the importance of backup time and again even though it is the stuff that boring work is made of. Rather than incorporate it into your regular computing hours and staring at your computer while your maintenance tasks completes. Make computer maintenance an overnight task that your computer performs without you

Downloads

Talking about Downloading, A lot of you will think of Internet download manager well, downloading using tools like Utorrent is ranked highly by all down loaders –Even me-, and for obvious reasons, Downloads can take a long time and those hours you're sleeping are the sweet-able ones to completing downloads especially 10 + GBs. But rather than keep your PC on all night long, Most file download applications like bit and utorrent & IDM- have built-in options for shutting down, when your downloads completes.

Video encoding


Many of us will never know the time it takes to do some seriously heavy video encoding, but if you've ever tried ripping a DVD, you know how much time and CPU cycles video encoding can take. Outsource you’re ripping and other encoding jobs overnight so you can save your time than sitting and staring at your computer while it encodes.

Render Graphics

Rendering graphics is among the most time-consuming tasks you can perform, so you shouldn't waste precious playtime by watching your computer rendering video bits.

Compiling code


Compiling code from source can be an intensive process, and it is better off users use their overnight cycles to update and compile software on both Mac and windows–even Linux-.

Hard drive repair


You can't do much to save a hard drive from dying and you can do your part to keep your disks healthy specifically by regularly fragmenting and checking for and repairing any disk errors. Try to schedule this maintenance once or twice per week, while you're sleeping, so you can rest easy that you've done all you can to keep your disks running in tip-top shape

Virus and malware scanning


Although most current anti-virus and anti-malware programs can run while you use your computer for other tasks, you're still better off to check your machine for problems when you're not using it. Depending upon your favorite antivirus software, you might be able to schedule scans from within the software, or in some cases, you might need to run Windows Task Schedule.






With all that in mind, I hop you will now use your time more effectively. However I got to say: turning off your computer for half of the day [3–6 hours] is really healthy for your computer and I advise it for those that want to use this guide for 24/7 and yes you may find your power bills go through the roof.
