  Anubis, tho the transaction is so quick I can’t 100% confirm that, but I think they do

  The amount of time which Anubis and other PoW-based algorithms take to solve a cryptographic challenge will depend on several factors, namely: the challenge level (depending on the webmaster's settings, the level can be increased if site traffic has increased), the CPU clock speed and amount of CPU resources available for your browser (and, by extension, for Anubis' ServiceWorkers), as well as... luck. It's dealing with randomness, after all.

  retro-fitted two pretty powerful, not your standard, fans in the old PC to mitigate some of that heat, along with the stock fans that I used to build it

  Not to mention how a desktop CPU, even when old (and especially when old, as it likely means a standard big ATX rather than a mini-ITX), has lots of surface area to dissipate heat, and a metal PC case built for radiating the heat away while allowing for better internal circulation of air (contrasted with the non-conductive plastic case from cheap laptops such as the one I own).

  Whereas your laptop generally utilizes one fan

  Yeah. And in my case it's a very inefficient, old fan. One that makes louder noise (akin to a car engine idling or cranking) as soon as it gets faster trying to keep up with the CPU heat... Oh, and I forgot to mention this in my previous replies: I also know when my CPU temps raised because the cooling fan becomes more noisy.

  I don’t know, but it intrigues me so I’ll keep a closer eye on it just out of mild curiosity.

  We often underestimate how much computing power the Web have been demanding from our personal devices. Web browsers have became full-fledged Operating Systems inside whatever Operating System the user uses, and some websites are massive in terms of CPU and RAM requirements. I mean, nowadays we have video editors, graphic suites, 3D suites, even 3D games, running entirely in browser...

    Oh this thing is monstrous. LOL It’s a Coolermaster Cosmos II case with a EVGA Classified SRX dual CPU with 96 GB RAM. So, yeah lots of room for heat dissipation.
