Seed Germination Heat Factory
My two power hungry Paxville xeons run at 135w to 150w each at about 2200 BTU/hr. That power consumption is pretty much old school for dual-core processores. To add to the heat generation, my monitors produce around 1100 BTU/hr. The new dual-core processors don't use half the power but are the same speed, less heat = faster processing.
You are looking at finned heat sinks that sit on top of the processors, the sinks are each enclosed in it's own green shroud. The backside of the shrouds each have their own huge fan that runs all the time. These procs are badass!
