Winter is coming and will again to grapple with the question of heating. Does anyone know whether it is possible to heat the room using GPU hardware. When working they produce a lot of heat. Is this enough heat to heat the house. I think it's a good idea to make money and not to pay for heating. What do you say? Anyone have experience?
I move my rigs inside into my house (they are usually in the garage) during the winter and literally heat my 1800 square foot house with them. When it gets cold I simply open the door to the office (where the rigs are) and put a fan in the doorway to push the heat into the rest of the house. I can heat the house by about 5-10 degrees just by opening the door and turning on the fan for a few minutes. With the door closed, the office sits at around 80 degrees.
The only issue is that the rigs can be a little loud with office door open and the fan running -- but at least I'm saving money on the heat bill.
I have a one floor house, so I am not sure if this would work with a 2 story house.
