It's very hot where I live. At least from a human body temperature perspective. I don't have a very good air conditioning unit, so to beat the heat I am stopping most of my CPU and GPU usage. Is anyone else doing the same or are you toughing it out?

I have most of my machines in the basement, or have rented a few dedicated servers. It makes up for the lack of electricity I'd ultimately spend with the same setup , at this point. I should really throw a few cores at climate prediction given what's going on in the world.

It's been over 30 c here most days since the beginning of June. We've had maybe 2 inches of rain during that time.

Best of luck.

I have twelve machines, spaced to provide heating in the winter.
In the summer, I turn off all except five in the basement, where I do not need to air condition them.

There is not much point in spending money both for running the machines and then for the cost of removing the heat by air conditioning. That is a waste of energy for me.

I feel the same.
The summer is where I generally figure out what machines to retire as well. In this case Nehalem EP, Bloomfield, some Sandy bridge. Electrical costs can almost make up for the work these new Ryzens do.
