How Can I Make My PC Run… warmer [closed]












2














This is, I admit, a strange request. But my PC is so well cooled that it's making my legs cold, while the CPU cores are running at about 28ºC (well below what they should be).



I've thought about getting a Zalman fan speed controller in just to reduce the fan, or even putting a large, fanless graphics card in.



Are there any other ideas?

    I used to warm up my HP laptop by putting it inside a blanket. But anyway, put on some pants. Making your PC deliberately warmer is not wise. You can try to reduce your fan speeds with software, if you want to. But probably still won't warm up your legs.

  • Please edit your question: Is your PC a laptop or a desktop? It sounds like this is a desktop and—if so—this sounds like a crazy request at best.

    thanks for all the "wear pants" comments. I already do! @LPChip your comment was very helpful. The system was running on a balanced profile rather than for performance. Changing this raised the CPU temperatures by about 5%. And yes, I suppose this adds to cost, but at the moment, the cold air is cooling the room and forcing the heating to compensate anyway, so should have no effect.

AnyDesk - Fatal Program Failure

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite Good day all. I have a window that pops up saying Fatal Program Failure (AnyDesk). This is what I have done so far: Uninstalled AnyDesk and reinstalled it. ( The window still appeared ) I disabled AnyDesk start up in Msconfig and the window seems to have disapeared. Lastly I made sure that AnyDesk worked by remoting into it, and it worked. Today the same window appeared. How do I get rid of this window? remote-desktop share | improve this question edited 10 hours ago Tomasz Jakub Rup 552 3 13 ...

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application. Our sales organization demands that touch is an available feature when going live with the new POS environment. Going further into this, allow me to explain what we have encountered on the way trying to achieve the goal of having a touch-screen: We've simply change...

QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

Image
1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
