With proper cooling, there will be no negative effects. Keep in ming that those programs will jump CPU utilization to 100% which causes your computer to run hotter than normal. If ventilation is inadequate or a fan fails, your temperature will climb dramatically, possibly causing permanent damage. While this risk is always present, even under normal usage, running distributed computing tasks often means having a computer on 24/7 increasing failure chances while your computer is unsupervised.
