heat free Build?

[Darylxx]

Hi, I live in a very hot country and my current computer is very overheating and turns my room into a hot stove.

 

Im considering to buy a new "heat free" computer just to use it for remote desktop, facebook, youtube and web surfing. Not planning to do any heavy stuff at all.

 

I need everything in my case to generate lowest heat as much as possible, Mini case is prefered because I have a limited space.

My budget is 2,000$

[SwiftXShadow]

i mean u dont need 2000 for fracebook, remote desktop and youtube. More like 500 if even that. High end GPUs = heat.

[Skiiwee29]

For "heat free" your best option is to get something like a Raspberry PI and load up a linux distro on it and use that. About the lowest amount of heat you will find. Or maybe one of those intel PCs on a stick if they still exist. 

[LukeSavenije]

any component can (and will) turn out heat

 

the best you can do is something low power like a raspberry pi or a 200ge

[ZeouLs]

A GT710 will do the job. I can run multiple VM's with Teamviewer and youtube and what not. Oh and it's passive cooled and doesnt generate any heat in comparison to high end/mid class gpus

way overkill. small, with excessive cooling. right in your ballpark i suppose.

no! op room is already hot!

good cooling implies hotter room, just stick with stock cooler, no extra fans

sure. or you could allways get a 2200GE. 

 

which shouldnt put out much heat at all. and he complained about the PC overheating. 

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

anyone place some plants near exhaust for temp regulations? lol

why go with a 500w psu, if you only have a cpu with onboard graphics?
350w or 400 would be far more than enough
 

[Devryd]

there was a video once on ltt where linus watercooled the editing room and put the radiators out of the house.

it wasn't perfect, but it should be doable if you really try and have the whole 2000$ to spend

because you need a high quality unit........

 

you dont just slap any PSU in there. also because the fan on the pure power is really good. making the system even more quiet.

around 100 watts of heat

if this pc should work in a really hot enviroment, it really needs active cooling
i dont know, if the athlon 200ge comes with a stock cooler, but i would strongly recomend, not to buy a passive cooler for it

it does, but it could technically run passive because it barely consumes anything

That does not make any sense at all.

A chip Outputs the same amount of heat, regardless if it is cooled passively or with lots of fans.

Good cooling just makes the chip run cooler, but doesn't change the amount of heat dumped into the air.

yes heat energy produced is fixed, but better cooling transfer heat from system to surrounding more efficient. 

as long as nothing overheats, minimal cooling shall be best for hot room

that is only partly true
if your cooling is so terrible, that the chip throttles hard, it will put out less heat

Apart from that, I thought that would be a thing everyone knows about *facepalm*

Option 1: Use part of the budget to install an air conditioner.

Option 2: A notebook / laptop with a low TDP cpu, something around 15W and a notebook cooling unit.
