Cooking featuring the r9 290x !

[Coaxialgamer]

This is more of a lighthearted/funny post, but it's also a rant. Having 300W cards in the summer can be pretty brutal, and this is also for those who say power/ heat don't matter to them when buying a GPU (which can be true to some extent).

 

Today, i'll be showing you how to cook with your computer. I have had a dual 290x setup since early 2016, and while they are great cards (especially considering the price i payed), they do produce quite a bit of heat .

Luke made a video about warming pizza with a pc, but he set it up especially for that purpose and used cardboard extensively. Today you'll see that the dream of on-the-spot hot meals during gaming is attainable by all !

Never again will you have to put up with mtn dew and doritos !

 

The subjects today will be dual  herta knacki (not sponsored) sausages that i found lying around in my freezer. I removed as much ice as i could from them to avoid producing much water from them.

However, they were not heated.

 

Step 1 : preparation 

 

 

I put both sausages in some foil to prevent water pouring out, as well to prevent dust getting on the food itself (yuck).

 

Step 2 scientific method :

Thermometer get !

We want to be able to measure the case temperature  to ensure the food can be cooked properly. These are pre-cooked, and just need to be heated. I do NOT recommend cooking raw foods with your PC, as improperly cooked meats can make you extremely sick and can even be fatal in some conditions.

 

Ambient temp was measured at 20C with a thermometer.

Sausages were put under GPU .It is important that you GPU is still able to spin it's fans.

 

With the case panel back on , i started my mining software as to produce a heavy GPU load, checking every 10min.

 

After 10 min,  thermometer temps went well past it's max 40C, making it useless. I discarded it .

Sausages were still cold however.

 

 

 

10 minutes later however , they were well done !

 

And that, my friends, is how you cook with your PC.

This is why I'll be buying a Vega GPU ! /jk

Don't let anyone tell you mining is useless, the heat is just value added over the currency you get .

 

 

I'll probably regret this post soon.

how to overclock a wiener

should have rested it on the back of the top card, or better yet between the two. But then again you wouldn't want to have burned the sausage!

I once saw a video where some guy removed his CPU heatsink and baked an egg on top of the CPU. the PC didn't like it but the egg did solidify

there actually quite a few videos where people cook on their pc . Mainly p4's and athlons .

I originally wanted to fit them between the 2 gpus , but there wasn't enough space in there. I figured that directly below a gpu exhaust would be the next best option.

Wouldn't that be "overcocking"?

I can lay some sausages on my GPU black plate...

It's 50c ambient here so there's no problem 

I can control my black plate temperature by adjusting the fan speed

@Slick I want to a see a full carnival hot-dog machine instead of Pizza PC 2.0. Let's do it!
