Mine uses about 80, but yeah, you can get rid of 80W passively. Consider a 100 watt incandescent light bulb; no fan!

- waterhouse 3y agoAnd how hot does the bulb get? Googling yields "The surface temperature of incandescent light bulbs varies from 150 to more than 250 degrees" (https://www.pacificlamp.com/temperature-of-a-100-watt-bulb.asp https://www.pacificlamp.com/temperature-of-a-100-watt-bulb.a...). Which, googling says, is likely hot enough to damage a CPU.
- vel0city 3y ago150F is like 65C which loads of CPUs run fine at. Going past 212F (100C) is usually where you'll start having problems with a lot of common desktop processors.
