How do you cool off in summer days?Yes it include your pc too :D

23 ^^

The best part is that those rads are in series so is more useless that helpful you should use a part of them for cpu and some for gpu because no matter how cold the water is going out to pc the temps are not going to get any better if you start the loop with the cpu and then is going to gpu the water arriving at one of these will be hotter.I think you get my point use them separately.

'Cuz they're "clean diesel." A real diesel (like my dad's truck) doesn't really smell much at all and (unlike most teenagers with diesels) doesn't spew black when you floor it. The 1980's were a good time for Chevy trucks.

It's cause they don't filter the sulfer because stupid German engineering.

What is this cool you speak of. Any ways i dont use AC, I just crack all the windows because AC does nothing for you but making you slower. And slowness boys is not good when you play football.

while drinking beer or spirits.

 

I feel like Australians do this no matter what they are doing.

I know what you mean but in real life scenario doesnt count as much . 2-3°C. Delta between warm and cold water is around 3°C when fans are almost off. Aesthetics of a serial loop was more important to me and easier to handle. Also there was less tube necessary. 

 

 

There is not so much Delta_T between the components of the loop as if it was important. But it happens (during idle) that the second radiator is quite useless the first radiator is enough for idlemode. if it was "cpu -> rad -> gpu -> rad" the gpu would stay cooler, thats right, but i dont bother about 2-3°C more

 

 

edit: it is even less than i thought. =)

 

(130 J/s (~TDP of the CPU) / ((4180 J/(kg K) (specific heat capacity of water )×60 L/h (liters per hour)×0.9999 kg/l (density of water)))  = 1.8662 K

 

So the CPU would warm up the Water about 2°C. Not that much  And this is the smallest setting of the Pump (50Hz). On 82Hz / 115l/h its below 1°C.

My room ambient temps are like only 1c higher in the summer than in the winter.

[dev893]

turn off all the lights close all the curtains and blinds and......

 

 

 

 

remove the side panel you sick minded people

[DaRk0]

I got A/C like two weeks ago, since last summer was unbearable.

[ILunde]

i live in Norway, no need.

[Guest]

I live in Scotland so not much need, but if it does somehow manage to get too hot for my computer I have some bottles in the freezer that I put in the space the hard drive rack (trays removed obviously). For me it is just some cold water.

I don't personally do this but my buddy did this because he lived in an older house, less powerful AC, more direct sun on the house during the day (and its Texas so hot, humid, ugh).

 

He took a copper coil and put fittings on both sides of it.  It was part of our home brewing beer kit before we bought a bigger, badder, better kit.  He then puts this coil in a bucket of ice water and adds the coil to his water loop with long tubes that go in and out of the PC.  It looks like the most red neck thing I have ever see.  BUT it cools things down so far that it is almost laughable.  To the point of his PC exsaulst fans air almost cool the room a little bit.  But you have to keep adding ice because it melts the living shit out of a bucket every couple hours and when you add this copper coil in the loop you have to add a ton more fluid to the system.  We did it once in the winter time and got some insane over clocks with it when he finally got a new PC and we were just pushing shit to the limit to push to the limit.  I wish I could remember it all but it was a few years ago and just a knee slap event / nothing serious.

 

It isn't something he does anymore now that he has a little more money and lives in a better house.  But admittingly it was a pretty cool idea back when he first got out of college and was still struggling a bit for the cash (most of his PC parts were hand me downs from me).  Not sure it is the greatest thing for the system because he had to put paper towels in between everything because of condinsation and I am not too sure about cheaper copper mixing with the silver you add combined with other metals in the loop.  But he was poor, desperate, and it mangaged to last until he got a new PC.

My deskchair is ventilated, look:

 

 

My pc currently runs with the side panel off but that won't be necessary once the StealthRay case is finished. It's just that I'm currently rocking a mid-90's case which was only really suitable for keeping a Pentium II cool so I don't really have a choice. Once the StealthRay is ready that case is going back in storage. Possibly on server duty in the future with a cooler cpu (maybe even an array of Raspberry Pis. Who knows). I need a personal BitTorrent Sync server as I don't really like having stuff in the cloud.

[SSOB]

I find doing nothing helps.

What if you fall back on your chair?

[Misanthrope]

Just a fan really, nothing more. The worst part of the summer has passed fortunately we're not getting 30c peak temps (just a few weeks a go we were getting 40s)

[terrytek]

I decided to cover up my PC, and shut it off (of course) and hide it away so nobody takes it while we are on vacay.

[ManWithBeard1990]

I try not to do that. But I have spare fans and I assume the power adapter has a fuse so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Oh. Is that shag carpet??

[Legion]

It just starting raining.. going to be cool for a little bit

[L.E.D]

My parents pay the hydro bill. Which evidently is what the AC unit runs on lmao.

Lucky. July 4th is gonna be hot for me.

[ManWithBeard1990]

Yeh. It's just some Ikea carpet I liked. The couple in the apartment below me complains about noise at night and I have a sleeping problem so I need the carpet for noise abatement. Not fun to keep clean and easy to lose small things in. Also it gets caught in my pet robot's gears. They really shouldn't be exposed but it was a budget build

Oh, yeah it's really hard to find things in there.

[Admiaczking]

I open my PC case.
