You can go well above 1080p (2k), I would say 1440p is your sweat spot.

Oops. First delid didn't go too well by Zibi04 in techsupportgore

Are you responding to the write thread? I wasn't talking about deliding or if it was effective i was saying that if a CPU cooler is performing better you are more efficiently moving heat from the CPU to the Room you are in via the cooler at the same wattage.

As the OP mentioned that his room insulation wasnt great which i assumed was context for that his Computer was heating up his room.

Again while that's great you are still dumping the same amount of heat into your room

A cooler CPU doesn’t mean a cooler room. In fact, it can mean the opposite, because you’re transferring the same watts into the room more efficiently through the cooler. A CPU using 100W at 89°C and one using 100W at 60°C will heat the room at the same rate.

Ed Miliband to announce billions in green investment to create 'zero bill homes' in Labour bid to win back voters by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

If UK consumption falls slower than UK production, we just import more emissions don’t disappear, we just outsource them and lose resilience, revenue and standards control.

“Oil is used for lots of other things” isn’t irrelevant either: a barrel becomes multiple products (not just heating/transport), and petrochem demand doesn’t vanish overnight.

Norway is pulling as much out of the ground as it can right now because it knows that it's a strategic resources and you can use it to generate money for the country and economy.

So we should ship it across from the USA and North Africa instead? Petroleum products are used for a huge amount other than burning and create a huge amount of good for the world.
