Dealing with high end PC's heat during summer

[trickson]

AC the only way to keep every thing cool even you ! Use a fan another way to keep cool , Open the door , There are many ways of doing this Why can't you just buy a $100 dollar AC unit and put it in the window ? How hard is this really ?

do you have a basement?

box fans are $20 each, buy 3-4 of them and put them in your windows facing out...


or, save $$ and buy a better AC unit

I would create an exhuast unit for your PC that vents to the nearest window.

I said I have one, but I don't want to have to turn it on when it's so cool outside.

I have air conditioning which I'll likely have on on those 90+ days, but I still want to deal with this heat problem as I shouldn't need to keep the AC on once it hits 70 outside.

open east and west windows in the house. let air flow through, or simply put a fan in your window as an exhaust and leave your door open.

and lmao I see your 90+ days and raise you 270. welcome to AZ.

Um I live on the Florida coast. I know hot. entropy13 I'm with you. I got 93f outside right now and its raining. These guys are sissies.

Anyway my advice is get a better AC or go LN.

That would only be effective if you have a completely air-tight case AND the exhaust unit is attached to your case completely insulated so that it doesn't leak. This sounds good in theory, until you realize that an air-tight case is, by definition, dangerous. The whole idea of keeping your CPU and other components from overheating depends upon airflow. The case must be able to draw in cooler air from the front and push the hot air out the back.

time for a system rebuild. Sandy Bridge and a AMD HD6970 generate less heat than what you have.

you could also try relocating some of the heat generating hardware in other parts of the house

I had the idea to run our furnace blower during the summer
draw the cool air from the basement thought the vents and into the house
