I’m in an air conditioned office cubicle, it’s well ventilated — I have a big vent right over my desk to keep the air moving.

I (finally) got the new PC at work… I asked for a Core 2 Duo, I got a Pentium D 945 (the vendors cant build Core 2 Duos yet).

This Pentium-D runs hot. Really hot. Infact, so hot that within 15 minutes of turning it on, it’s raised the temperature in my cubicle considerably. And that’s with the aircon running. I can’t wait to see what it’ll be like if when the AC dies this summer.

Oh, and this is with ~50% load on the CPUs.

During winter I’ll be able to heat the office by running Prime95.

Edit (30mins later): Ok, so just for laughs, I ran Prime95, two copies - both with the In-Place large FFTs. Ran them for 10 minutes, It now feels like Singapore (with less humidity) in here…

You can feel the heat radiating from it… damn.
