And I rebutted that by saying my processor had TDP of 65W and therefore was no cooler than 65W desktop processors of 20 years ago.
Yes and that's still wrong because you don't understand that a CPU today doesn't have to use its max energy rating all the time unlike older CPUs. A modern 4 GHz CPU can downclock itself to 1 GHz while idling or performing easy tasks, which saves a tremendous amount of energy, and thereby heat.
And then you all didn't know the difference between TDP and power draw.
Heat dissipated and power used are the same thing, Thork. The problem here is that you insisted on using the power drawn by the wall, in which we all had to explain to you that is heat dissipated by your PSU, not your CPU. If your CPU draws 120W from the wall, but dissipates 65W of heat, then that means the other 55W is heat coming from some other components (namely, the PSU).
Back on topic... my PC is not running a cool CPU. Its just got better cooling than was possible 20 years ago because of heat pipe tech and so AIOs pushing desktop performance is now a thing.
don't just start lying in the thread.
Your PC is most definitely running a cool CPU, and it's definitely not thanks to the """"relatively new"""" discovery that copper can transfer heat from one place to another...
