Hey guys,
I've recently started using sleep mode for my PC, no point leaving it on for many hours so I'd rather have it sleep.
From what I understand, Sleep puts the PC in a low state power mode with settings and document saved in the memory.
In my case, when I put my PC to sleep, everything shuts down. There is no "Shut Down" screen, but there are no case fans, no CPU cooling (Corsair H100i) working, no Mobo LEDs, no HDDs working, basically, the PC looks like it's completely shut down.
However, clicking the power button and Windows appears on the screen within 2 seconds.
So my question is, is the CPU running while in Sleep mode? I'm concerned about heat... If it is and the cooler is not running, isn't it dangerous?
I have tried both regular sleep and hybrid sleep and in both cases the PC acts the same, it looks like it's completely turned off, but pressing the power button wakes it up in a sec.
More info on this would be great, thanks
