No, if you're using the gfx card anyway, then you may aswell get some heat from it
Well yes, what i meant was building a mega pc just to warm up a room was inefficient
Tho it would be quite innovative to replace all the rads in ur house with a pair of high end gpu's sat on a mobo linked to some kind of mainframe just to use for warmth

What speed are your fans at?
The heat watts pumped into the room whatever the set-up may be the same, however I find my set-up uncomfortable to be next to if I've left the fans on low RPM and am gaming with something GPU intensive. The heat felt is very obvious.
If however I have the fans at high RPM, it heat is no-where near as noticeable as I guess it's being dissipated around the room more effectively.
Could you add a room fan also, pushing any 'hanging' heat from your PC around the room?
Not really a remedy but could make things more barable for longer?

Hi All the rad fans are Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 RPM, no fan controllers just 12v supply.
If you click the in the first post you can see the build.
Its a shame because the pc performs really well game wise. Was looking at water chillers but don't know how much heat is generated from those..
