thanks for the recommendations I will use eco mode on the processor that reduces tdp to 65 and cuts performance by a quarter a fair trade for summers i have never done voltage-controlling so i will look into that for sure. I am planning on a 4900x when it launches so hopefully that will be a little easier to cool. AIOs are quite expensive and not my taste so i will just use nhd15 with triple fans. and hopefully the air cooler for room will help just a bit(at this point every degree matters i guess) and i will get some shade curtains for windows to keep it from boiling. 55C in 20C ambient means 80C in 45C ambient that is ouch toasty for idle. guess i won't boost and do short operations on hot days.

thanks very much for your concern that specific room had cooling but this year the old ac caught on fire and sure i will get some cooling for myself but it will likely be an air cooler the ones you put ice cubes in. and thus i won't count on the cooler to cool the case though it might help a little

Hi, imagine a mainstream 105W TDP CPU such as a 9900k, 3900x or 3950x in a mid tower case with decent air flow like CM H500P mesh. Say you also have a 250W 2080 super or another card like that. but the ambient temperature is 50°C(~120°F) and no cooling in the specific room to relieve that. so what are my options? (noise is not a concern at all) do I slap a noctua NH-D15 to CPU with three fans attached to it crank fans to max rpm and consider it done. of course when the ambient is that high in summer I do plan to try maybe try eco-mode during the day and or reduce max boost. but in such a scenario is that enough ? should i use something like conductonaut for better temps and regarding the GPU will it be safe if throttled in a 50°C room temperature scenario or must you also slap a NH-D15 to that P.S. i would appreciate if you all can not ask where it is that i have 50°C because i don't but 45°C high is quite common here in summers and it only gets hotter every year. extra details i guess : the environment is quite dusty so a filter is must
