Yes, when WC24 is on, it keeps the WiFi on, but never tuns on the fan, so the system slowly gets hot. I personally don't think it is a problem, because the system is only using like 7w, and most electronics can dissipate that much heat with little problems. The disc noise is probably caused by failure not induced from WC24 use.

 

Yes it is a problem when the system gets slowly hot. My graphic board was damaged because of WC24 and little black spot on the screen appeared. I sent it to Nintendo and they repaired it. A few months ago the same thing happened again (although I really payed attention to unplug it every day, but I forgot it sometimes..), but my guarantee isn't significant anymore, so I'm going to sell it to someone, because I'm not ready to pay 70 Euros for another reparation again.

dam, i didn't know that it's just the WiFi that can generate so much heat, and according to you, can lend towards damaging your parts! I think i'll turn on WC24 when i'm going to the channels that need it, and take it off after. Kinda sucky though.
