I’ll be that guy, but a computationally complex problem won’t push your computer to a temperature beyond design limits.
- FerretFred 2y agoYou're welcome to come to my attic office in summer, as they ambient temperature reaches 200F m a sunny day and my obsolete-but-powerful tower PC consumes 350W power and adds to the tropical heat :)
- LoganDark 2y ago> a computationally complex problem won’t push your computer to a temperature beyond design limits. Allegedly. It allegedly won't do that. Practically, running your CPU at design limits for a very long period of time tends to cause the temperature of the rest of the chassis to want to equalize to that temperature, which can be above comfort limits.
