Now I just have to convince myself that
Leaving the computer on 24/7 and folding
Gives off more power efficient ($$$) heat than my heater



Just turn your case so the exhaust points towards you :)

CPU vents out the top
GPU just blows air everywhere, but I have that side facing towards me and my computer

I'm finishing this last WU and shutting it down...the heat coming out back of comp, is starting to attract Stink Bugs as the outside temp drops :/


/e Room temp is 60F ....heat from Titan is 145F :/

It won't. It will give the exact same amount of heat than any other electricity powered heater, excluding all energy that gets out as light.
Two main differences to a heater are the fact that the computer is most likely placed in a place where it doesn't heat the whole room as efficiently, as it's not made to do that. Secondly, folding helps some scientists far away while heating up your room.

You all scoffed when I bought a TITAN. Well it's 5F outside and as you know this apt. has no insulation...with the thermostat set at 70F the apt. is 49F. So, I started folding again, now my TITAN is putting out 67C.

67 degree Celsius = 152.6 degree Fahrenheit...





/e Correction: 68 degrees Celsius = 154.4 degree Fahrenheit
