The apartment I live in has no air conditioning.
We are heading into Winter but my bedroom still gets extremely hot when I'm in there using my computer.
It has been pretty cool outside recently but my room has still been getting up into the 80s at night when I'm playing games on the computer.
If I turn my computer off during the day when I'm at school or work the temps drop down to very comfortable levels so I know it is the heat from my computer causing it.
But once I get home and start the computer back up it only takes an hour or two before the temps are back up again and I'm sweating my balls off.
Plus I'd like to get my machine folding again(I fold for a different team though sorry I started folding for them before I came here).
This weekend the temps went back up again outside into the high 80s and my room today is near 100.
So that got me thinking.
If I threw together a watercooling loop for my CPU and GPU to lower their temperatures would that help lower my room temperature?
If the computer is running cooler then my room should be cooler too right?
