This worked pretty well last winter.

This. I'm in a dorm with no heating, and electric is included

Sweatshirts are comfy. I wish my room was cold.

how shitty is your school?

>>57331624
Use to run furmark on my geforce 8800 gtx until I upgraded to a gtx 1060

8800 used to idle at 55°C now my 1060 only gets up to 55 under full load

>>57332104
Get an electric space heater you fucking spurg.

Get an electric heater.

My 390X also does a decent job heating the room when under load.

>8XXX era

Is the 8800 nVidia's greatest product and their finest moment?

>>57333137
G92 and all its variants were pretty fucking great.

Get AMD GPU and mining software

He probably doesn't pay his own power bill
>>57332510
Which 1060? I'm getting the EVGA model soon, 1:1 for my 780Ti.

>Not mining crypto currency.

>>57333522
Ah yes, weve forgotten about the housefire fame of 400 and 500s nVidia and the venerated 8800s

Theoretically it's just as efficient to mine Bitcoin or whatever than it is to turn on an actual heater because of thermodynamics and shit

>>57331232
I just run folding@home or BOINC, sometimes I mine whatever is the new memecoin just for kicks
>>57334244
Puget Systems did some empiric testing, a 1000W system heated the same as a 1000W heater

What's a good memecoin to mine?
It has been a little chilly lately.

>>57334728
Just mine whatever looks fun, mining for profits is bretty hard nowadays
But you could ask >>>/biz/

>>57334683

Well your 1000W tower doesn't move, blast concert-tier audio or generate enough light to melt steel beams, so yeah about 990W of that is going to be dissipated as heat.

>>57331232
Do it with a 480
