5800x3d acts like a space heater
It's a pretty calm situation, my child is running the old unit. Just need a little PS120SE and one fan on the 58X3D to keep it under 60°C with 4x8 3600C14.
It seems you noticed something important about the CPU usage in your video posts. I was reminded of a Boeing 747, which is my favorite plane! That’s a fun comparison. Just to clarify, my system typically uses about 80 watts when idle and 500 watts during tasks like running Prime95 or Superposition together.
The issue centers on the heat generated by the system. The main concern is the rise in room temperature due to excess heat from the PC. Simply using a cooler or a larger case won't resolve the problem if the heat output remains high. The discomfort level depends on several factors: room size, airflow, and how much ambient temperature the person can tolerate. In tighter, closed spaces—especially in areas with limited ventilation—it becomes harder to escape the heat, even with modest power usage.
Lol... not really clear what's happening with him. Probably just a fan who likes things fast. Back home he ran nonstop, but here in my cave it's calm. Now he's in the living room near my kids' desk on the main floor, and it's much quieter than the old Meshify C it replaced.
