I am pretty sure your processor block is going to eat more electrical energy if you let it run 24/7. Siginificantly. And since energy costs constitute the biggest chunk in mining costs already for a while, the last generations of dedicated mining hardware have already been optimised in this direction. All in all, I'm pretty sure you'll be making negative wins if you dedicate consumer hardware to it, unless you're not paying your energy bills.
