Open your cupboards and keep a faucet or 2 running a little to help prevent freezing pipes
Heh, remember one morning when I started my pc and saw FF on hard disk temperatures. Was soo cold that sensors went nutz! Anyway, it need to be lot lower than -2c to it hurt computer
Run Cities Skylines II
I don’t need that my psu is like 100°c on idle and not even dusty btw
Use it for Folding at home, at least that is useful
Anyone who lives in a place where it routinely drops below freezing should have an actual space heater.
Do folding at home, you will actually contribute something usefull with your proceccing power
do some good with that need for heating, run folding@home
i use my gaming machines to supplement my wood stove heating. every year despite -10 days, it hasn’t dropped below 20 in inhabited spaces. the gas company hates it and can’t figure out that i use maybe a grill tank worth of fuel from the utility each month.
Don’t forget to clog the intake fans.
I love my DWF, how are you liking yours?
My friend used to grow shrooms and he’d boot up Valheim just because it happened to heat his room to the optimal temperature for growing them
Red dead 2 litteraly made me survive an Electric outage in -40c canadian blizzards cause it warmed my room so much
Lol I literally did this in college 😂 it was a small private college in Wyoming, and all the dorms were heated by baseboard heaters. The problem is, they ran along the exterior walls of the dorms, and the dorms were just long halls with rooms. The hot water for the heaters also came in at the middle of the building, and my room was at the end of the building with two exterior facing walls, so it already got pretty chilly, and by the time the hot water made it down to my room, it wasn’t nearly as hot. There were some winter nights where it got down to 56° in there.
So I decided to run Unigine Heaven on my PC overnight, and was running an AMD Phenom II X4/GTX 480 combo at the time. It kept my room a cozy 72° all winter 😂
Is not bad for the components being at that temperature? (Im new)
do folding@home, or Seti@home,
do Crypto-mining.
Or do both and mine Gridcoin 🙂
)(ok, thats a wothless currency, but you mine it with folding@home, so nothing wastet here)
and shut down your monitor.
You have now a space-heater, that gives you some value (a worthless coin, that is at least a “thank you coin”) , and do something good for humanity (fight cancer for example)
Fine bench is a benchmark, run prime95 for true heating as it is a stress test.
It was -28c here just (Lapland, Finland) yesterday 🙂
Would running a game with RT/PT be better nowadays considering all gpu will be utilised? Obviously with another CPU benchmark in the background.
When it gets really cold I like to fire up my powermac g5 and kick off a long compilation job like building netbsd to heat my room up
I mine btc or something similar.
3080, 5800x3d. All the stress tests. Throws out some good heat.
White ppl problem .
Does all white ppl live in cold country?
Lol. No offence
