If you want a 100% efficient computer like me, all you have to do - and it's very simple!

Count all of the noise and heat as useful work.

This doesn't work in Queensland unfortunately. Any tips for making it produce cold air rather than warm?

Turn the power cable 180 degrees. You may need to use a mallet

I'm in QLD freezing my arse off, however, you could pair the computer with a thermoelectric generator to absorb the heat from the computer and power it. However, that probably won't work and would be an infinite power hack. It wouldn't make the room cooler but not make the room hotter.

Edit: It's been attempted! https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9728234

You're right, I should have been clearer: This doesn't work in Queensland, aside from the two to three weeks of jumper weather we get per year.

two to three weeks of jumper weather

You mean two to three months, right?

And by two to three, you mean four to five, right?

You must be in Cairns or something

Brisbane, but I'm also overweight so my perception of the cold may be skewed.
