Its eerie how many of us are running an AMD FX "Bulldozer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulldo...roarchitecture).
Any time I post my CPU anywhere online for tech support, or when I got some IRL help after my motherboard died, I get someone commenting on my "Bulldozer". Apparently this series is freakishly powerful for its time - but produces a metric gigaton of heat and is super NOT energy efficient.

In other words, I'm sure I'm far from the only one in this thread who doesnt have to turn on their heater in the winter.

Looks like we all got Asus Boards cause it allows for AM3+ to go along with a Nvidia GTX 10xx Ti. Anyway...

CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Pro R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270x
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD65

I thought it was just my room, but yeah no heat in the winter, room temp will go from 76 degrees F to 83-86 degrees if I don't throttle the CPU.

Which is how I found this issue is drastically affected by CPU throttling. You can change "Maximum processor state" in power options, and 70-80% usually doesn't slow anything down too noticeably but stops the fans from roaring and literally shaking my desk as the thing heats the room.

More details on that setting in my bug report: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post5737641

(Also, no Asus or Nvidia, and still having the issue.)
