I'm going to sleep in a cold room tonight :(

so, normally i sleep in my apartment that is very much like a dorm room. my PC is right by my bed.

however, tonight and for the next week i'll be staying at my dads. this means no nice fx-9590 room heating for a week.

 

my laptop will be my only heat source. i guess i better keep it close.

i'll leave Atmosk (my desktop) folding the whole week while i'm gone. so i know it will generate even more heat, which makes me even more jelly.

 

anyway. ITT we talk about leaving our computers and we miss them because humanity has developed a symbiotic companion for itself

also, we now treat computers like they are a fire, providing us warmth and light each night. (as well as food if you order pizza online)

 

TL:DR? WTF have we become humanity?

 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I like to pretend central heating is an old outdated technology.

O-o! If you have a phone with a Snapdragon you can bake a cake on it, so you can also use it as a heat source :D

So....

Your just complaining unreasonably because you'll sleep in a cold room?

You'll be missing all your rigs,

So it's not because you can't afford electricity?

Is that some sort of AMD counter attack xp?

Not gonna pretend I haven't ghetto heated my room before. Long nights of gaming with the heat off in the winter with only my GPU to keep me warm.

My laptop with an AMD A4 (can't remember the specific chip) heated up my room more than my current rig does with a 4690k and a 980. So yeah...

for a short while i lived in a trailer, which had no heating whatso ever. i dreaded going to sleep because i meant i have to leave my warm 75F computer room to go to my 28F bedroom.

being broke as hell sucked, but it having a good computer helped a bit.

I believe he just wanted to lay down that clever 9590 joke, you get it it's a very hot chip (though lower than even Nvidia flagship tdps though) So let's just clap at the fresh joke we never heard before!

the joke is that i can't be the only one using a desktop for room heat.
