If I am correct, all power used by a computer ultimately turns into heat, correct? LCD uses much less watts than a CRT but why does heat seem to pour out of the front of my Hanns-g 22" LCD after long useage? Uses 49 watt Max http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254020#spec The heat given off by a computer depends on several things. Type and speed of the CPU. Type, size, and efficiency of the CPU cooler. Cleanliness of the CPU cooler. How many and what type of PCI cards you have installed. Case design and number/type of case fans are fitted Ambient air temperature in the room. How hard the CPU is working (i.e. what process it is running) Type of graphics cardMake and design of the motherboard. ( I haven't gone Gman techie here, just relaying what I have read ) http://club.cdfreaks.com/f7/how-much-heat-does-computer-give-off-187993/ The heat doesn't seem to generate from the desktop up to the LCD and through it, maybe this is possible? It sure warms the room up, great in the Winter but not so in the Summer. Any other LCD users feel the heat from the front panel of your LCD? Thanks and a happy weekend to all.
