just got a new desktop at work, a Dell Optiplex GX280 miditower, with a P4
3.8Ghz ('Prescott').    its rather NOISY when I run prime95 on it, the fan
speeds up quite alot :(

left it running overnight, and my 100 sq ft office was rather warm in the AM
too.   sheesh.


I hope you're not blaming prime95 for that... :-)


well, I know the Prescott P4 is a power hog at 3.8Ghz, and when its running prime95 it gets HOT, so the system is pumping a lot more heat into the room. if I exit prime95 the fan slows down in seconds, and in a minute or so the exhaust air is considerably cooler

thats the price of 0.042 second iterations of M 27,9xx,xxx, I suppose
