When it gets real cold here in NY I will have 17 computers and somewhere around 300 threads/cores crunching BOINC heating my house.
Throw in a couple video cards and It stays nice and warm in here.
I hardly used any fuel oil last Winter
 
If I remember right it is 3 BTUs per watt of electric used.


If you want to be more accurate, it is 3.412 BTU/hr per Watt

Did you google it or you another HVAC guy? I just remembered it from sizing load for HVAC.
I was thinking 3.14 then remembered that's PIE, but who dose not like pie?

 the rigs will do the heating as well as the folding! Best of both worlds!


It's amazing how much heat is pumping out of our rigs, Someone should figure out a way to convert the heat output to BTU's haha.


It is called a Fan





 
oooooooh a wise guy ayyyyyyyyy (Saying it like curly from the three stooges)


Sorry was thinking of how to heat the rest of your house, as I use a fan to push the warm are into the rest of mine.
 
1 Watt is 0.0568690192748063 BTU/minute or 1 BTU/minute is 17.58426666666667 Watts.
So you all know this is in your Calculator that comes with Windows 7 and higher under "Unit conversion" - "Power"

I think electric and heat and those types are measured in hour time frame. KWH and so on. If I remember right. Been so long since I used all that info.

Yes the HVAC Guy
 
How would you use BTU/minute?

I also know some other formulas.
More computers online = larger electric bill
Larger electric bill = louder angrier wife.
Louder angrier wife = more time alone in the computer room alone turning on more computers.
More time alone in the computer room alone turning on more computers = a vicious cycle.  And a bigger electric bill

My AMD GPU Folding Issues may have been caused by bad WCG Tasks from either OpenZika or Outsmart Ebola Together
Doing some more testing now.
 
Yep Crunching WGC CPU Task and Folding on AMD GPU are a No Go.

But in Long Math that would mean More Gaming.

If anyone wonders what a BTU is.
The British thermal unit (Btu or BTU) is a traditional unit of work equal to about 1055 joules. It is the amount of work needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. One four-inch wooden kitchen match consumed completely generates approximately 1 Btu. In science and engineering, the joule, the SI unit of energy, has largely replaced the Btu.
The Btu/h is most often used as a measure of power in the electric power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. It is still used in some metric English-speaking countries. In North America, the heat value (energy content) of fuels is often expressed in Btus.
 
I can't seem to find if there is a set time frame to heat the water 1 deg.
 
I'll did into it later. Went to the Dr today and my back is a bit sore.
