So pointless that one virtual coin is worth 50k

 

So pointless... 😉

Worth doesn't give something a worthy purpose.

I cannot exist without money but I can exist without cryptocurrency.

It is a fad energised by the very people who already own it.😁

You could also try to reduce your power draw by undervolting. I have not tried a lot with my CPU but it's always the first thing I do when upgrading my GPU. For example my 4070 SUPER would draw ~200W with factory settings. After undervolting it does not exceed 130W. Thats 30% less power, and 10°C less.

In case people are concerned, just wanted to point out that application software can't damage a PC (assuming it is properly built with the appropriate cooling). The reason that some addons advise against increasing sim rate above a certain level is because this can cause the autopilot or flight model to become unstable, typically causing the aircraft to start oscillating up and down.

I've explained above why I would not expect sim rate / time compression to have a significant effect on power draw. In any case, this is easy to test using a utility that displays system power draw, such as HWINFO 64. (Not at my PC right now, so I can't do this test myself.)

My computer runs on nuclear power. Hence, I don't feel guilty in the slightest.
