I used to game on a dual core cpu 2.5ghz and on a asus gt 430 ( yes I know its damn bad). This computer sucked and I was blown away by how hot the computer was. I cleaned it every month or so and still It ran super hot.

Definitely, Nearly every single time comes into my room while I'm gaming they say 'Oh god, It's roasting in here'. But I guess I've gotten used to it.

I already lived in the hottest room in the house and my gaming PC certainly doesn't make that any better. I typically have my door closed and it's been pretty hot this year, so my room gets up in the 90s (Fahrenheit).

Same here. I'm kinda used to the increased heat in my room, but everyone else who comes here complains that I should leave the door and the window wide open.

 

 

My room temperature usually rises by 1-2 C during a long gaming session. During summer my room temp can get as high as 28-29C, but during winter it stays at a comfortable 20-22C.

My room get's above 30°C during summer, and at evenings the sun shines directly into my room. It's ridiculously warm in my room, and if I open the window in summer, mosquitoes start to come in, and I hate mosquitoes so much, that even one is enough to distract me from everything and anything.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

No, because I game on a laptop...An ultra book... The absolute max the power adapter can draw from the wall is 60W and when the battery is not actually charging, it will never draw that. When gaming, the laptop draws an estimated 40ish Watts, so not noticeable...

That won't make it any hotter...

My office warms up whenever my computers are going.   Gaming makes it worse.    

 

There have been times I want to try a Water loop ran out to the garage..

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

No because I have air conditioner, it's actually cheaper than build a custom water cooling system with radiator hanging outside.

although MY most powerful piece of tech is my laptop, i still have like 5 other rigs (one of which is my old 2005 windows xp one. xD the rest are my friends, every day we lan party it up, sadly i dont know thier passwords so i cant use them to game, but hey, they buy me food and games. :D)

, soo... it CAN get toasty here... but i usually wear short shorts and a tshirt. so i rarely notice it getting hotter, even when i do, im still comfortable.

Consider my room a sauna...

 

I have no air-conditioning so with normal temps ranging from 32-37C, the room reaches 36-41C...

 

Holy crap, and I thought reaching the high twenties was bad >_>

My room temperature doesn't change when I play games. The general ambiance around my computer does (but not often), but the rest of the room does not. There's a couple of things that probably factor into this:

 

  1. It's in my basement, and my basement is always cold.
  2. It's a laptop, and even though it generates a lot of heat when I play games, it doesn't generate nor dissipate as much as an actual gaming desktop would.
  3. Right now, in the summer, our air conditioner is always running, so it stays even cooler than when it is not running.
  4. 90W isn't too terribly much.

I can have several computers running at once and I'll still be needing to wear my sweater and slippers in my basement because its temperature (which is usually about 13-15 degrees Celsius) almost never changes.

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Yes, my room becomes warmer when I game, around 3°-5° centigrade. I'm using a GTX 770 and a FX 8350: they're enough to generate that much heat.

Not really (in fall/winter it's cold inside and in summer it gets crazy hot anyways)

Do you know how heat works? It's hot and it's being expelled into my room...

Yeah, but positive pressure will do the same thing...

I have a 290 and my card never goes above 70 when running all my games at ultra, but my mum actually noticed it the other day she came in and said my room was rather stuffy. Just left my window open for a few hours

When I switch them to intake fans (not good for the PC mind you, you do NEED an exhaust fan in your PC) my room got cooler....

These we're both during the summer by-the-way.
