Winter is here annd heat isn't working. I have both the GPU and smp client running, with my PC exhaust aimed towards the center of my room and its keeping me warm

I wish I had a fermi right now

I've got two GTX 470's in my current rig, with a third due to arrive soon. This thing is literally heating the entire downstairs of my house.

My 460 isn't hot enough to heat up my place

My bro. has his comp. in is room and it makes the room feel like he is running a space heater..

Not sure I'd say "winter" yet as such, but PC heating certainly is nice. By the time that winter gets to full force here in NC, I should be capable of dumping out ~500w w/ my sig rig

There's snow and a blizzard here right now - I'm in Nunavut, Canada.
I'm only dumping about 75watts from the GPU :\\

My card doesn't need to be plugged into the PSU.

Dirtyworks- That avatar is just all win. Do you have a high res of that?

on topic:
My tv and media center(gtx480 n i7 920 @ 4ghz) warm my entire downstairs. 2 desktops and a server warm the office...

Weather is warmer than usual here today but winter will be here soon enough.

Make sure you sign up for the Canadian folding team for next months competition.

Didn't realize where you were

Sounds like you need some new HW to heat your room better

4x GTX480

Do u guys really use ur comp to heat up ur room? I like winter, cuz it helps me to reduce heat to achieve higher oc. I would open windows and turn down the heat to keep my comp cold. Am I weird?

Yes. But you're no differnet than us.

We've all put our computers in front of open windows "just to see"

No, that's what we're saying that we do.
We turn of all of the heat and just use the computers to heat everything with how hot they get.

Today is a bit warmer than usual for me, 80F, and my computer easily jacks it up to 90F. I walk into my room and it's like an oven.

Michigan always has some early blizzards though, so I'm excited for winter to come. :3

Could have sworn it was still Fall.

Oh come on, you Detroit guys have it easy. Try northern Michigan compared to Detroit. You guys hardly ever even get snow

Unfortunately the biggest I have is 400x400.

I do plan to get a GTX465 or 2 with my next build (been looking for one to flash to a 470

). So that should help a bit

Winter starts significantly earlier here- the lake will be frozen over thick enough to drive a snowmobile on by the end of the month. I'll post a few pics, within the hour, of the snow here

I've always wanted to visit the Canadian North. Must be awesome once winter really rolls around...

Still like summer down here during the day.Best part is to open the house up and let it air out during the evenings with the cooler weather at night.
