How to keep room cool?

[Keudn]

My bedroom is where I spend most of my time when I'm home since my computer is in there, the problem with that is after just a few hours of my computer running its gets HOT, like red cheeks and you need ice water hot. The AC in the house is usually off or only running every once in a while since it is already cold where I am and in a few months it will be heater time instead, so my room gets 0 cold air to it. It actually is hotter than in the summer because in the summer the AC is on so I get a bit of cold air into my bedroom. The only window I have is a large sliding egress window so it will be really hard installing a window mounted AC unit. I usually have a bad cold most of the winter so opening and closing the window is only going to make that worse and isn't really ideal. Anyone have ideas on how to keep my room cool or has been stuck in a similar situation?

You'd be surprised how much heat a 400watt system can generate. My system heats my room up to 85F

I have a 350watt system and im covered in a blanket to keep warm (might be because im in a basement and in canada where its already snowing) but even when it was running in egypt there wasnt that much heat

Thats it, literally the only things in my room that are on are my ceiling light, alarm clock, phone, and my computer, so either my alarm clock is an oven or my rig puts out a lot of heat LOL. I do remember reading an article about how computers watt for watt are more efficient at producing heat than space heaters, so I technically have a 500-600W space heater (assuming I am gaming and it pulls that many watts)

Easy, turn off pc

Nooo, joking, I have the same issue, just placed my pc close to a window, but it's not very effective, the best way I found, is keeping door open, and also any window I can find at home, that way you'll have more airflow, and heat seems to be getting back down

I've thought about that but won't it raise the humidity quite a bit for a small room? And would that put my computer at risk if the room had high humidity?

just saw that you are overclocking your cpu pretty drastically that might be why

It is still summer here in East Texas, so I kind of have the same issue. Unfortunately I do have a window unit. Besides that, I also have a ceiling fan and a box fan running at all times. I would recommend getting a fan, as well as opening your door (assuming it is closed). Air flow is the key. I'm not an expert though. I just happen to live in a hot area, and my room is on the West side of the house (that sundown though...).

Probably is... but totally worth it

I would love to open my door and have a fan circulate air out if it wasn't for annoying siblings and parents, i can barely ignore them with my door shut.....

watercool it I guess

 True, unless you open the window, but I have no idea

 i5@ 4.4 

2x GTX 760 1300mhz OC 

16GB 2400mhz OC 

 

 

with this I've literally became notorious for heating the entire upstairs of my house by throwing on the Valley benchmark and lettin her rip. Takes about an hour but I can usually get up to around 75-85f 

 

I however have 2 Windows for a draft, the best thing I can recommend is just getting a single fan for that window and not an entire AC unit

[Keudn]

watercool it I guess

heat still gets put out into the room If i had the cash id do what Linus is doing and run it outside LOL

[thekeemo]

heat still gets put out into the room

then do something like linus is doing and have the fans outside the room

[Keudn]

then do something like linus is doing and have the fans outside the room

I wish

[thekeemo]

I wish

done we all

[Keudn]

So I figured out what to do with my 200m fan that doesn't fit in my 750D
