That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that's already insanely expensive

My Pc is a good 500W heater with an attached entertainment generator.
Playing Frostpunk and my PC is literally the generator.
Man, I need to return to that game.
But it's so stressful. Like the main scenario I tried to save everybody, then the game throws 43 children my way... I have to admit, took three minutes to decide what to do.
It's very pretty, and the loop is great, I love management games, but this one just hits differently.
That's the beauty: you have to make the tough choices for the greater good and future of the town. I've been playing a dozen hours a week for a few months and finally have somewhat of a feel for how to start building the town at the beginning so it doesn't screw me over later.
I initially didn't like it when I got it for free on Epic, now it's one of my favorite games.
I bought it, because I saw some recommendations. I even played some on my Steam Deck.
But the PC experience is the best, though I moved to OpenTTD after the first scenario.
Agreed. Visually beautiful and morally hard. So difficult to save everyone but I loved it.
I got it through a giveaway and when I was going to start playing, my cat died and it was just too heavy for me at that frame of mind.
It's been a couple of years now, though. I should give it another go.
Assuming you meant heat and not hear. Upgrading your cooling should not lower the total heat output of your PC (it's more likely to increase it). The only exception is if you somehow send the heat out of the room, but that would be a crazy complicated setup. Your PC always turn the same amount of electric energy into heat energy and dissipate it in the room. if it's more efficient it will cool down the components more, possibly giving them the opportunity to increase frequency further, which increase the power draw, which is turn into more heat that is dissipated in the room.
How would that work? Your PC still generates the same amount of heat. If anything, better cooling would allow your setup to dissipate even more heat.
