IMO the new ryzen cpus have no problem with heat.
Running the cores 7/24 in full power in the summer is no big deal.
If you put several graphic cards into a small case, could give thermal problems but normally you put graphical cards in extra case outside or in no case at all.

In the winter a good oven to make the computerroom attractive even for women because of the good temperature.

In the summer it Depends.

Yes, If I had to buy something today and not the budget for a Threadripper or something, the Ryzen 7 seems very good value for money, if it was available because the chip shortages seem to delay everything or it is some other bottleneck. Coolblue here in The Netherlands has a nice Ryzen 7 for just 749 Euros, but: coming sooon (as Vas Rajlich would say perhaps). No graphic card other than the on board one Vega graphic card (or is it on chip, don't know for sure) for this 749 Euro system, but that is okay. The bigger graphic cards are terribly expensive! I have never seen separate cases for your graphic cards Thorsten, I must be very out of touch.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

With a 360 AIO water cooler, mine works fine in 35 degree room temperatures, but it certainly is not quiet. You have to watch VRM temps as well as CPU, as long as your motherboard has the sensors.

I guess you switched now like most Germans and Dutch to water cooling? :lol: :lol: :lol:

...I did not ask, how does your cooling run in Canada/Lytton, that would be impious, my question was genuine about NNUE causing more heat -> better cooling, maybe I should have started a new thread on this.

You question might be genuine but it only shows you understand very little about CPU power management. Thermal throttling is power related. Your system will always run with maximum power that the current cooling solution allows. Whether you are generating that power running AVX2 or regular non-vectorized instructions is totally irrelevant. In other words, your question is pretty pointless.

Enlighten me, so there is no differrence in power usage betwen a non NNUE engine running on CPU and NNUE engine with AVX?

You question is equivalent to "What is heavier 1kg of iron or 1kg of feathers?"
Unfortunately you are incapable of grasping this.
