Yea but can you game on a heat pump?
Even if it’s 97% efficient, a heat pump can still beat it.

You could probably run Doom on one.

More like 99.99% the only electricity coming into the PC and not heating the house is the very small amount of light and sound leaving the house. Still worse than a heat pump, but pretty efficient at heating.

What about the fans?

Their waste is heat. They might waste some energy by sending air out of the house, but any energy they impart on air eventually becomes heat

EVs are finally starting to use heat pumps for heating and cooling their batteries (and cabin climate), I wonder how long before that’s available for PCs? Just need a little hole saw to get an evaporator/condenser outside.
