Simple but hard to explain cooling question - Overclock.net

Ok my PC now was running 2.3ghz for like 2 years now, no problems and I had no complaints. Now I went to 2.5ghz because Insurgency doesnt run so smooth, I bet the 8800GTS that comes today will fix that. I swear now at 2.5ghz my PC cooks my room. After about 1-2 hours cs I am almost swetting in my room and I have our air conditioning set pretty low. Is this normal, an OC really makes that much of a difference?

When I build my C2D in a couple weeks I was thinking of getting an e6750 and Ocing it to 3.8+, even contiplating WC to help with this. But now Im thinking if its seriously going to cook my room maybe Ill leave it at 3.0 or 3.2 So should I just get a 6550 or some cheaper CPU like that? Would they run just ask cool as a 6750 at the same clocks? Wasn’t sure if more fsb lower multi meant more heat or not.

My PC cancels out my air conditioner so I basically have no air conditioning this summer..

Also, Insurgency is a Source game, and like all Source games. All it needs is a 5GHz CPU and a mid range video card and it can run on max settings and never lag. I don't know what GPU you had before. But if you had like a 7900GT/X1900 or something you won't see much of a difference

Jackz5o, do you remember about two weeks ago when me and jph1589 completely schooled you about underestimating processors...lets try to remember this day!

the difference is in your ambients and the weather, its summer, and its hot

not your overclocking. an extra 100W heat output in your room does virtually nothing.

and no , your PC does not calcel out your air conditioner, unless you are using some $20 POS

how do you measure that? per hour,per min, I wonder if it converts to jewels or something so I can actually figure it out how much difference it makes.
