Prime95 started during startup... Surprisingly different from expectations.

I'm trying to get Prime95 to start running the SmallFFTs test right away, and I'm not sure how to set that up. "Why do you need this?" I'm asking for a bit of heat. I fixed a few typos in my notes, maybe my old keyboard is giving up.

Check the web for that .exe file and try Skype Bae.

It seems uncertain, but it could be a system startup issue Windows is handling.

I recall warming up my feet initially and quickly heating up my whole room using my GTX 465. Those were the days when a GPU served as a heater!

Yeah... You're not supposed to say shit like this. Using my Dell with a 66 or so watt TDP P4 as a footwarmer.

Hey there. I still have my old Pavilion zd8000 from 2005 running—just upgraded the RAM to 2GB at my home while my PC stays at college. This model comes with a 200W power brick, which is perfect for keeping both feet warm during the cold winter months.

We adjusted the thermostat to 72 during winter, keeping the house near 68-70 degrees. I recall running Prime95 on my X200s under the desk to stay warm, but it generated excessive heat—so I placed a warning sign by the vent. Those were great days!
