Heat is generated by all of those things, but optical drives are especially bad. You can test this quite easily if you have a digital version of a retail game and compare the noise level of your console to a disc game. It's a notable difference because the fan inside the box is used a lot less when playing a digital game. That should answer your incoherent question. |
Which is still pretty irrelevant because now consoles only use the disc to install the game to the HDD. IF you have notabley different noise levels when comparing a game running off the HDD to another game.... also running off the HDD, then you have a problem.
So no, you won't save anything on cooling in modern game systems.
