Hi all,

 

I built this PC last year at the end of Spring. We had a really hot summer and my fans were kicking it at really high speeds and so I couldn't really play any "beefy" games with it also being a huge heat output (turning my already toaster of a room into a smeltery) but didn't have much in terms of money to get more cooling sorted. During 2021 it was rather cool for us and so I completely forgot about it until now. 3 days of 25ºC (77ºFreedomUnits) of hot weather outside turns my small room into a smeltery yet again, and yet again don't have the money to sort out cooling BUT I am looking at sorting this issue out.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on a Cooling Plan/Setup that I can use so that I don't turn my room into a smeltery during 2022's summer - Temps can range from 20ºC to 30+ºC

 

Edit: I should mention I am not at all looking into water cooling - thats a mess I want to tackle later on in my life

Doors and windows open. 
 

Unless you stop using as much power, the heat output will remain the same

Windows are open

Door is closed for Privacy reasons (and so its not as noisy for when I am talking to people)

Move the pc out of the room then. There’s not really a solution outside of this aside from using less power
