my room temp jumps 10 degrees when my comp runs.. with the window open and door open... and i litterally sweat when i game...
 
Just think, that used to be the Axp claim to fame exclusively. I have three Intels running in my office, one of them being a Prescott. It gets very warm in here thanks largely to the Prescott, although having three computers running 24/7 does not help matters any. I am going to have to bring my portable room air conditioner in here soon to keep it cool.

Are you using the stock HSF on that Prescott? Are you concerned that those temps are shortening the life of the CPU?

I'm just trying to get some feadback from Prescott users.
 
I think monitors put out more heat...
It is cooler in my room when the computer is on and the monitor is off...
The computer itself barely warms the room at all.

yeah, a CRT should put out quite a bit more heat than a prescott.

Someone should test and measure this..

Opeth is awesome.
 
Ive had pretty much every processor out from every refresh for the last four years, and whether it was an AMD, INTEL, EPIA...silent cooling, aircraft carrier style cooling, water cooling, or whatever else.....my room would ALWAYS get hot. Its just the heat in general building up. IF you have your computer inside a desk or under a desk thats closed on all sides, or a desk with one of those tower cut-outs, it becomes a big oven.

Those methods are just more effecient at removing the heat from the proccessor.


All that heat still ends up dumped into the air, no matter the method you use.
 
You can tell how much heat a monitor will put out by how much power it uses. Just look at the sticker on the back and see how many amps it uses and at what voltage. Multiply together to give watts. Thats a rough gauge of how much heat it will dump.

I think a prescott, before overclocking, can dump up to 110w of heat ?
 
My A64 still does the same thing. It heats up my room fast. Although I live in florida and the AC is on the oppisite end of my house. So those factors and may affect it.
 
uhh, my comp doesnt warm my room at all :confused: Most comps use around 300 wats (single cpu, mobo, 2 sticks of ram, vid card, single drive). thats like 5 light bulbs, and not all of that energy is put off as heat (im betting less than half is), so how can it warm a room :?

Try sitting underneath 5 lightbulbs shining on you. It gets hot.

If your room is hot, you have poor circulation in your room and/or house. Try using a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Then your central AC should be able to remove the heat from the room more efficiently than if all the heat is in one corner next to you.

My PC is right next to the air intake (and thermostat) for the Cental air unit for the whole house, so the heat gets sucked away very efficiently and doesn't ever bother me.

yea but im betting under 150 watts is dissipated as heat

Oh, you have an A64 too, which explains you rising to the defence against a silly joke. Can I be just like you too? Why are you even in an Intel forum anyways? Isn't the nursery down the hall and on the right?
 
Kenin, chill out (pun intended).

I have both A64 and P4 systems. Each suits a purpose. The P4E is for business and multitasking, the A64 is my fileserver and game machine.

The P4 overheats like a 67 chevy with a leaky radiator in the Mohave in July. The A64 doesn't handle the multi-tasking as well. So what?

!!!!!!s will be !!!!!!s, but still no need to act like children.
 
woohoo, I live in Canada, so it must mean I need at least 3 prescott to just live, eh?? hahahaha.
 
yeah i even have to turn my comp off at night time, and i have a northwood.
 
You could attach some ducting to your 120mm exhaust and stick it out the window. That flexible stuff as used on tumble dryers.

Then in the winter, turn the fan around for insane overclocks! (Or condensation induced hardware death!) :D

WOW...im sorry but i didnt mean my comment to be such a big deal with people, I was just saying that its perfectly normal for a prescott to heat up a small to medium sized room because guess what ive had TWO prescotts a 2.8E then a 3.4E and let me say that both got pretty damn hot...hot enough to make my entire room feel like I was sitting in Satans waiting room
 
My Xeons heat up my room hardcore.

I did a test one day. I turned off the computer for the whole day. my temps were just like outside temps.

the next day turned it on. (its always running 24/7 folding) my room heated up like crazy.

I was at least 25 degrees hotter then the outside air temp.
 
Personally I haven't had as many problems as you guys as far as my room heating up goes, and that includes having monitors and a few Prescotts, a Northwood, and a Pentium III running constantly. Airflow can make a big difference too.

I'll chill out once I wheel my a/c in here and turn it on :p . It gets hot in here with a Celeron server with two Northwood workstations and a Prescott workstation. I intend to build a rack one of these days and air condition it, but I have yet to get around to doing so.

However, flaming for a joke was just asking for trouble.. I couldn't resist.

Mod Edit -

...not only "asking for trouble" (...trolling?), but against the rules:
(1) Absolutely NO FLAMING OR NAME CALLING. Mutual respect and civilized conversation is the required norm.

You can argue, disagree, berate, etc. all you want but when it gets personal, count on a mod or admin to step in and make required changes. If it continues, an Admin may step in and make more permanant changes....and some of you may not be thrilled with the outcome. Fair warning - B.B.S.
