That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

It would literally not matter since it all ends up as heat in the end which is what you’re looking for anyway

Minus 5 watts on the three fans or something

Even if it’s 97% efficient, a heat pump can still easily beat it.

More like 99.99% the only electricity coming into the PC and not heating the house is the very small amount of light and sound leaving the house. Still worse than a heat pump, but pretty efficient at heating.

EVs are finally starting to use heat pumps for heating and cooling their batteries (and cabin climate), I wonder how long before that’s available for PCs? Just need a little hole saw to get an evaporator/condenser outside.

The electricity from the fans also ends up as heat.

My Pc is a good 500W heater with an attached entertainment generator.

Man, I need to return to that game.

But it’s so stressful. Like the main scenario I tried to save everybody, then the game throws 43 children my way… I have to admit, took three minutes to decide what to do.

It’s very pretty, and the loop is great, I love management games, but this one just hits differently.

Assuming you meant heat and not hear. Upgrading your cooling should not lower the total heat output of your PC (it’s more likely to increase it). The only exception is if you somehow send the heat out of the room, but that would be a crazy complicated setup. Your PC always turn the same amount of electric energy into heat energy and dissipate it in the room. if it’s more efficient it will cool down the components more, possibly giving them the opportunity to increase frequency further, which increase the power draw, which is turn into more heat that is dissipated in the room.
