Body warmer and a dose of manly.. good to go

XD I never had a P4 in any machine, how hot did they used to get idle?

the 3.8GHz Prescotts would do 40C Idle on stock cooling. Intel actually had plans to release a 4GHz unit but it's TDP was so high that on stock cooling it's lifespan was unacceptably short! :eek:

Haha holy crap XD what voltage did they run on?

Wait,.....what?

1.4v
They were the first Intel CPUs built on a 90nm process and the leakage currents were... astronomical.

Ahahahahaha

Not as high as I was expecting actually, my current cpu runs on more than that with it's full overclock engaged :O

Aod · 26 Sep 2012 at 23:00

people took them up to about 1.6v when 'clocking them though XD

satanicguardian · 27 Sep 2012 at 09:13

This morning was warm. I didn't need a PC heater! :3

I'm sure using a PC as a heater is even more expensive/inefficient!

1.6v? Big whup wanna fight about it?

MrMoonX · 27 Sep 2012 at 09:24

I was out at 530 running it wasn't that cold, felt too hot with my jacket on

Glaucus · 27 Sep 2012 at 09:31

What a pointless waist of CPU, why not at least do SETI or similar.

I just put the radiators on like any normal person >_>

Point was I can't

Why? Is there some law about it that I'm not aware of?

There is when you aren't paying for the gas bill

Dave M · 27 Sep 2012 at 14:05

"mum won't let me spend £2 a day on heating, so I spent £6 a day leaving the PC on instead"

Stone22uk · 27 Sep 2012 at 14:18

Just get a jumper?

satanicguardian · 27 Sep 2012 at 16:58

XD people have taken the situation so seriously, it was a one time idea to warm the room up so I didn't freeze my nuts off after an early shower

Dr.EM · 27 Sep 2012 at 18:39

Indeed, and even with gas being cheaper than electric this is still certain to be cheaper than powering up the boiler and heating the whole house rather than putting what is actually a very modest amount of heat energy (an electric heater is around 2kW generally!) into a single room in the house.
