If i don't even use it at all, will my hardware's lifespan get shortened?

If i restart it every night, will my hardware's lifespan be saved?

My son had his last AMD FX setup , 24\7 for 5 years straight.
It is still running , he sold it to a friend.

I've been leaving my systems on 24/7 (I just turn off the displays) for the last 10 years or so to no ill-effect.

*For hosting a game server by the way, shouldn't be an issue right?

Should be fine , make sure to use a high quality PSU.

I have always left my PC on 24/7 (for the last 25 to 30 years).
I have never had it cause a premature failure on any component.
I do upgrade about every 5 to 7 years.

The dang is is gonna go obsolete on you before it breaks.

I run 3 PC's currently and leave 2 of them on 24/7/365, the other one doesn't get used much so I leave that off unless I want to use it.

I have always ran my PCs 24/7/365 and never seen any sort of issues doing it.
