It isn't about how hot it gets, but the actual amount of heat it puts out.
Whole home humidifier?

Yes, I know exactly what your saying and that is why I replied like I did.
Why don't you try being near a recent am3 phenom ii or athlon ii x4 or up and see how warm you get when that thing starts to go to work!
My corei3 540 when I was folding in late march did the same thing but my room felt like a **** south american jungle until I got it to cool down. :\

No they don't mguire, also my core i3 had a temp of 42c-59c and it still felt mighty toasty even in weather temps of 54c temps all day with no home heat and windows closed tight. :|
My core i3 had a speed of 3.5ghz and its enough to get the room luke warm. the higer the clock frqeuency the more heat you will feel from both intel or amd wise.
I would fold right now before I leave the house but I am not trying to come into a room where it feels like a left the heater on by mistake.
Thats why I said in the folding forum this spring my core i3 would not be folding all summer because it cannot take it and neither can I when its nearly on full load. (90% working)

Dude I had one for over 6 months while waiting on my i5 to be RMAd last year. They don't get that hot unless clocked real high like mine. Between it and the 4890 I had it wouldn't warm up the room with the AC off in the spring. My i5 on the other hand is making this little water loop I have sweat at 4.3ghz and keeps my room toasty without the heater between it and the 465. If you open the door you can feel the cold air rush in.
