how the hell did live with Pentium 2, 3, and 4?

Pentium 4s and later the Pentium D ran so hot I could use them to heat my dorm room. Miss that.

Right? I was told a custom PC was good as a space heater. Stupid modern hardware

You can buy modern Intel i9s to replicate your experience

This is how I got through the winter.

Nah, modern hardware is bonkers on thermals again. A 4090 with i9-12900K is going to net you 700 watts of TDP in stock. That's like half of what you can even pull from the wall. Even at the low end for the latest generations, you're looking at around 200W combined TDP. And then as if that wasn't enough, they squeeze that shit in laptops! Laptops! This is absolutely nuts.

I literally did this. My senior year in college I had a single dorm room and I’m guessing some overlocked Celeron CPUs in a dual-socket motherboard. I never once turned on the heat. I’d often come home and open my window when it was snowing outside.
