My current desktop has two CPU fans, a fan on the GPU, one on the PSU, and four on the case!

It is actually repurposed from the components of my first homelab build (cca 2021), it sports a 8-core/16 thread Ryzen 5 and 64GB(!!) of DDR4 ECC RAM which I did not dare to look up what you'd have to pay for today (I got the two 32G modules around 200€ each, a bit pricy even then, as these are server/workstation-grade sticks).

By turning off PBO ("turbo") I still get plenty of perf out of the CPU (~10K multi-core Geekbench 6) while making sure the passive copper heatsink doesn't break a sweat. This also helps keep peak power draw at bay (65W measured absolute peak), which meant that I could power the whole thing off a 80W wide-input PicoPSU and completely avoid the AC power brick — it is directly hooked into my 24V battery pack via the solar charger. I am in fact also replacing the (odd, 19V) power brick of the monitor with a similar setup using a voltage regulator.

So sustainable efficiency, 🖕 massive data centers.
