It's too hot to game in the UK right now. 🥵
. That's actually a rather power efficient chip for a gaming processor so quick, at least compared to Intel's high-end, but it's not the most efficient that AMD makes.When combined, these components spit out hella heat. Even at idle, my CPU is running at around 51°C average Tctl temperature and my GPU around 54°C . When gaming it's the 300W graphics card that I fear for most, however, reaching upwards of 89°C.
The unfortunate outcome of all this is that I'm not touching my gaming PC for its primary purpose of gaming while it's so hot out. I feel my powerful PC has flown too close to the sun, and like a silicon Icarus it's come crashing back down to Earth in a scorching fireball. Or something like that; it's too hot to think up an accurate parable for this situation.
Perhaps my best option is to forget all this work business and take a trip to my local Gregg's bakery; ergo, the most air-conditioned building in my entire area. That feels to me like a suitable excuse to leave work early, at least. Or I could strap a liquid cooling loop to my head if needs must.Temperature data showing rapid warming in the past few decades, the latest data going up to 2021.
