@snacks when the fireplace is off we hover around 14-16° which isnt that cold but it gets really fucking bothersome when its been like this for about a month straight

@snacks probably not. its literally an electromotor on ball bearings it literally doesnt get more efficient (aside from electric heaters which achieve perfect energy efficiency)
honestly im starting to want one of those diesel jet engine lookin heaters cause they're apparently also crazy effective

@snacks that reminds me ive got a wattage meter i can actually check energy consumption now and do the maths of how much this costs. im SO going to use this fan next summer im gonna fucking measure at the maximum setting and itll be like cents per day run

@coolbean producing heat efficiently is so easy that 100% is the bare minimum

@snacks i remember last winter i used my graphics card as a heater while playing reforger. shit was PEAK (then i fixed the gpu fan which had worn out and the efficacy decreased sharply)

@coolbean if your fan draws enough power to be significant at over like 200w+ power draw than i'm confused it was still spinning

@snacks it wasnt the fan drawing power that caused the heat, it was the fan not spinning at the speeds it was supposed to and thereby not adequately cooling my gpu that caused heat

@coolbean but your gpu shouldn't draw more power when hotter (well, technically it does a bit but gpus are usually power limited)

@snacks no like
this was purely a "my gpu was heating my room" situation power draw doesnt matter cause heating was not its primary concern

@coolbean @snacks @mia a lack rack is the height of fashion, but also there's no harm in just having it sit on the ground on a few standoffs like https://www.printables.com/model/189445-4u-server-case-floor-stand-feet-vertical-horizonta
