Geez my house is cold right now....

10c when i woke up this morning and turned the PC on, only lasted for a few mins as I ran a benchmark right away :D
 
pretty cool here to at idling cpu around 30 c , gpu at 27 c , if it is getting to cold fire up battlefield 4 for an hour or so session and then it gets pretty warm .

3rd bedroom / office pretty small so it easy to heat it up with pc.
 
maybe false reading ^ usually amd cpu give false reading on CPUID , or it was cold morning and his room temperatures were bellow 15 c :confused:
 
Lowest I have ever seen my CPU was 17°C idle with a Kuhler 620 push-pull. It was deathly cold outside and I was wearing a coat and had the window open for the sole purpose of getting the core temps ridiculously low :D

Some say i'm sad. And I sometimes agree. ;)

Do you rads outside your window or something? By the way if I can ever afford to build a house I will run my watercooling hoses outside.

I think you have to be careful of that too due to condensation, unless im mistaken in which case im gonna get me a nice big external rad and mount it outside with a bit of antifreeze

I don't know, it was a half-joke :)

I'm sure there's some way to make it work though. You know "Heatpumps" are used to heat up and cool down houses in the Nordic countries, they kinda work on a similar principle (Well, there's evaporation involved, but still there's a "rad" outside)..

I'm sure there's some way to make it work, freezing in the UK is not a problem, but I guess the evaporation rates would be high.. so frequent coolant top-ups :P Still, the hardware inside would be completely safe as long as the coolant does not freeze.
 
I've caved today and put the heating on :), it's proper cold here today lol. It's timed and 20c so shouldn't be to bad. Trying to keep our bill down, we already pay £125 a month for gas and electric, utterly ridiculous lol.
