      Back when I had my Intel 3GHz Prescott working in tandem with the dustbuster Nvidia 5900XT, I honestly didn’t need to turn on the heat during winter.

      Reminds me of school we got the new pentiums 2 with 300mhz back in the day, in an very compact case with very small fans, with our computer room under the roof, windows facing towards midday sun. In summer at around 2pm one after the other PC went into thermal shutdown, with maybe 5 of 20 PCs still running by 3pm. Opening windows did not help.

        Sounds like my old 5820k + crossfire 6970 system. Made the real estate fix the AC in the spare room where the PC was just so I could stand the heat.
