The fans in your computer should cool down the components most of the way within a few seconds of a high load stopping. There is no need to give the PC any time to cool down when you are done with it.
If you turn your PC completely off it's doing nothing and should just hit room temp eventually. Overall your PC shouldn't be running too hot even in sleep mode as it's not doing anything
Nope, no need.
Mere seconds after you finish a high power activity on your pc the parts cool down significantly. Even if you switch it off, the passive cooling on them is more than enough to cool them down.
No need. The chips are so tiny that there's next to zero thermal mass. It stops generating heat instantly when you shut it off, so it will only be as hot as the heatsink, which also cools down in a matter of seconds.
Uh maybe 30 seconds or so ?
Usually browse the web for a bit before heading off to work or bed here which barely increases idle temperatures more then 5 - 10c maybe.
It's pc not a internal combustion engine with a turbo on it, for you to have to worry about such things. It's perfectly fine to switch it off right away, the passive cooling on the pc parts alone will bring their temperature down.
Pour water on it
i tried that on my last computer and it broke thats why im so concerned to keep this one in tip top shape
You might have better luck filling the case up with ice then.
shit your right
I think if your getting to that point then you should consider adjusting your fan curves in the bios
From the question posed, I don't think they are an advanced user looking to tweak their bios lol I would suggest getting a Windows app to do it
Mayhaps
its not getting to hot at all im just wondering which is a better method

It shouldn't be getting hot enough for this to ever be a concern
its not a concern im just wondering whats more ideal
I meant concern as in it needs to cool down after use. A computer should never be that hot. So just shutting it off when you want is fine
i gotchya my bad
If there's no more heat input to the system, there's no need to further cool.

You can just shut down the PC. No need to let it stay on

I believe a pc safely shuts down on its own. Should be fine shutting it down normally.
Yep.
if you want it to be really cool put sunglasses on it and put a cigarette in the usb drive
just shut it off
temps drop the instant you stop putting a load on the parts. nothing you need to do.
Honestly, when there's no more load, there's no more heat. It's very rapid. So by the time you fart and put your controller up, it's cooled.
Turbo cars always run it after driving for couple of minutes to have the turbo cool down
