Closet PC Idea

[megadarkwood]

My computer gets TOASTY and it makes the whole room hot (Like 30C compared to 22C in the rest of the house). I'm thinking of putting the PC in either another room (Not really possible) or in the closet that is right next to my desk. Putting it in the closet would be easy, I would need maybe 6ft cables which isn't hard to find. But is it a good idea? what are Alternatives to reducing heat output?

putting it in a closet is gonna make it hotter brah. cut a hole in ur window and put the back of the pc there? lol i do that in summers. i open my window and put the exhaust dere

Turn down the A/C. Maybe do the whole room water cooling like Linus did. The way I see it, the closet would heat up and the PC would suffer.

you want to decrease heat output by putting ur pc in a closet?

U dumb

Heat will just build up in the closet...

 

And then kill the PC

Lower end components will produce less heat. Also removing over clocks will help with that. Another option is to water cool it but use a huge res outside your PC that way it will take a while for it to warm up.

so FX series will produce less heat?

Have you watched the conclusion to the whole room liquid cooling video? Lol your computer probably has a very small effect on the temps in your room, and putting it in your closet brings in a whole bunch of cooling issues. Why not just open a window or buy a box fan or two?

I guess I worded it wrong, I want to reduce heat output to the room. I know itll make the closet heat up but its a walk-in with an AC vent.

yes of course!!!!!!

You would need to add proper ventilation to the closet with a return and intake line to take away the heat and cold fresh air to the PC.

[Aytex]

yes of course!!!!!!

are you serious?

[Emanuel_M]

are you serious?

forgot /s

The whole room watercooling was a flop though lol, they didn't get any actual benefits from it.

forgot what?

I was thinking Intel Atom.. use common sense ffs

[Aytex]

I was thinking Intel Atom.. use common sense ffs

I am using common sence. You're advice is wrong. not all lower end products produce less heat

That was because of the copper piping, taking and placing your PC next to the window then doing it would help.

You are not worth the time of day.

Higher process node=lower temps

There's a reason why FX CPUs have a lower max safe temp than Intel CPUs.

das not the point. the point is what the other guy said was that ALL lower end componants have low temps

[Tjomme]

Put it in the fridge #ThanksLinus

[ItsGinger35]

yes of course!!!!!!

HA

no they are very hot

Then why did you mention FX CPUs in the first place?

You were wrong about that fact.

A low end low TDP CPU will probably have low temps. But that doesn't mean a lower end CPU will have low temps, 3.8GHZ P4 ran hot AF.
