    Go Green! Wintertime heating with the GPU

    Hi all,

    It's time to ignore the wife and heat your office with your GPU!

    Welcome to the boards. I think some of us are as green as we can be without starting a fire.

    I keep the door closed to the room with the computer to hold the heat in so it's warmer when I'm in there

    It's amazing how much heat these machines produce, especially the GPUs.

    I have a space heater that I 'used' to use in the computer room, don't need it any more. At least not in that room

    North Carolina doesn't get that cold, but I have moved 2 of my boxes to my work shed (it's a very nice work shed) and they take the chill off quite well. Added benefit is that I also get to decrease the fan speeds.
