My pc is making my room hot even on idle, my temps are fine but my room is just very hot compared to the rest of my house, I saw a post from 2 years ago so i was just looking for some recent advise.

 

 

 

EDIT: I also just noticed that I have the perfect amount of posts

Not much you can do about it, all electronics give off heat due to resistance...

Even the fans on your case give off heat heh.

 

The only thing you could do is to get more power efficient components, like a platinum rated PSU, a low powered CPU... same goes for GPU.
Think of M1 Mac Mini (7W idle, 40W max load) or your smartphone, lots of horsepower at low energy cost and thus little heat being generated.

Your system is already as low power as you can get it without sacrificing performance too much.
Other than switching to a laptop, again not much you can do... except maybe moving it to another room and running some hdmi and usb cables to your room hah.

My house has poor airflow overall because it's old. Assuming the door stays open, you can use a fan to move more cold air in from the rest of the house like I do. I have a fan pointed from the next room slightly down at the floor to push cooler air in, and as a consequence, warmer air moves back out of the top of the door.
