    Not to sure what you mean?

    If your asking about battery life...

    It also depends on your power settings...

    "High Performance" Will get you about 2 hours depending on what your doing.

    I've played COD4 for about a hour or more and it still had battery life left.

    "Power Saver" Will get you a good 3 - 4 hours if your just browsing the net, but also cuts speed down.

    I usually only put it on power saver after I'm down to 30 minutes on High.. then it shoots back up.

    I never used the balance setting.


    As far as the temp's go..

    People range from 42-52C Depending on the situation...

    I think mine was at 48-49 being overclocked.

    i dont have a 7805, but i have one of its older siblings and i've left mine on for....weeks at a time without ever shutting it down. i let it sleep at night if im not doing anything overnight, and occasional restarts (at least 1 per week).

    the only time i've really shut my computer down is when i am transporting it with me somewhere.

    Ah, Not to sure.. I shut mine down when I'm done with it.

    My old HP laptop I left on for about 2 years straight, never shut it down...

    Then the screen went all white... and is now used as a half top.
