I just don't want to run it all the time due to wear and tear on the fans and GPU mainly because of all the heat. Its ventilated properly and all that but I usually fall asleep with the TV on so I feel like running it constantly all the time is going to wear out the parts quicker.
Your Laptop shouldnt eben heat up while streaming Videos.
They're designed to run constantly, and your GPU is designed to run with some heat. I highly doubt you're maxing out either like you would with a demanding game. Fans are much cheaper than a new separate device, and your GPU will become outdated long before it dies to wear and tear.
