Does power consumption = more heat volume?

So does higher power consumption put out more volume of heat? Really I am wondering what = my room getting hot fast? I know undervolting my card and lowering frequency’s help. But would a more efficient card be the answer? I got a 2070s strix and a Vega 56.

Yes.

Basically, the higher your system power consumption is, the more it will heat up your room. Anything that's lowering power consumption (like undervolting or a weaker GPU) will help with heat output.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

I undervolted my cpu and gpu and it helped a lot. Another thing that helped is Nvidia inspector idk why but nvidia gpus won't downclock right with multimonitors (gpu-z and watt meter both show it drops from 40watts to 20 watts when its enabled). The main thing that helps honestly is a fan blowing air into the room. Less heat means GENERALLY it will just take longer to hit a equilibrium (and or a slightly lower equilibrium) and while it might be slightly lower its never really comfortable.

Its pretty basic. Every Watt your system uses is converted to heat 100%

So if your system draws 200 Watt, that will generate 200 Watt of heat energy.

 

Lowering your wattage will lower the heat output.

A more efficient card can still put out more heat.
