Reducing Heat From PC

chriscoolzap · June 26, 2016

Hey Guys, I am wondering if any of you have tried different methods to reduce heat coming from your PC. My PC is in my bedroom and it's just unbearable sometimes even during the winter. I have everything set to stock because my room gets too hot lol. My central A/C can't keep up from the heat of my PC. Should I buy a separate AC unit or what?

Add some fans to move the air out of the room to promote crossflow so it doesn't stay stagnate and get the chance to heat up to a very large degree.

Well, aside from utilizing dynamic frequencies and the sleep functionality, the only other option you have is to find a way to get that hot air out of the room.

In my case, my room was getting as hot as 50c on hot days due to AMD. I bought a $40 window fan, and haven't really looked back. It keeps the ambient temperature at least equivalent to the outside air temp, but it also circulates the air as well.
