Actually he has a point. Computers/electronic are a source of positive ions which are unhealthy, it's good to have salt lamps.
Positive ions are unhealthy? Wtf? Please link a medical journal or something that can backup what you're saying, cuz I think it's horse shit.
The air is being altered by the fumes that the thermal paste, pcb, capacitors, ect. emit when running at those high temps.
I'm surprised that you do not smell it.
Are we talking about positive ions, or toxic fumes? You guys seem like you're contradicting each other. And I'll ask you the same thing: please post a medical journal or some other legitimate source that proves that computer hardware or electronic equipment at high temps can release toxic fumes.
And no, I don't smell anything.
So according to you, salt lamps are a scam, and air ionizers (which are different than air purifiers with a filter) are what you really want, cuz they can "control
ultrafine aerosol pollutants in
cleanrooms... at a height of
60 cm (2 feet) from the floor."
Bold and parenthesis added by me.
I don't know about you, but I don't live in a clean room, and I usually breathe with my head more than 2ft above the ground, and this is the first I've heard of GPUs giving off "aerosol pollutants".
Crazyates, what they are referring to are VOC - volatile organic compounds. They are the major component of indoor pollution. The CA Air Resource Board even made laws a few years back restricting VOCs so now even wood cabinets can't be made in CA lol. A quick google search of computer VOCs shows this:
