Message 1614762 - Posted: 16 Dec 2014, 16:34:40 UTC - in response to Message 1614665.  

Thank you both for the replies. So, I guess just running my cpu apps I save electricity and have a cooler house also. I am sure I will need to turn on the heat in the house at one point, but so far it is 580, 2x770 and 2x780's are keeping me warm.

Hmmm... if it is 580º (ºK, ºC, or ºF) you might want to turn something down a little. :P
If it were to get to warm you could try not crunching on one of the GPUs in each system to see if that lowers the room temps enough for you.

Hal9000, I think Miklos means Video cards, not temps, I have a 580 in My PC, I'd run My 570 too, but the motherboard power regulators are shot and can't do more than what I'm running now, after Dec 31st I'll be able to fix that when I get a new case.

I guess sometimes being silly just isn't worth it for some people...

Silly would be typing this: ;) Not sticking ones tongue out, but whatever makes ya happy.

Sticking one's tongue out is a playful gesture meant to be silly. I use it that way all the time.

Not everyone sees it that way.

But everyone can learn that it can be meant that way.
