So in my computer room, I have an X2 3800@2550, a winnie 3000@2100, and a 820D@3.43 Room temp 71.4F. In my bedroom, I have an X2 4400@2550 and an X2 3800@2500, room temp 69.4F. (no heat turned on in the house, 39F outside). The computer room and the bedroom are on oppisite ends of the house. So my bedroom is getting a little chilly, so I may have to more the "heater" 820 into my bedroom ! You can feel the heat coming out of the side of the case, it really is like a little space heater, no joke ! and the Athlon cases, you can't hardly feel any heat coming out ! It wasn't as eveident until winter came on....
BTW, all 5 boxes mentioned have almost the same video card, no fans on them X300SE and 9600pro. The 820 has only a PCI video card, so NO heat from that, no heatsink on the GPU even. In the center of the house is my sons Athlon64 3200+@2300 with a 8500 radeon, it heats his room barely, but gets the heat from the computer room coming his way.
