Yea, most of the 450W will be converted into heat, and only a small amount actually goes to computing. Imagine if our brains had that kind of inefficiency, our skulls would overheat from thinking too hard

Does that mean if I am cold, running a 600 watt computer is the same as having a 600 watt space heater going?
