My room is as hot as hell!

[EBDoesStuff]

Hey, guys! So I recently noticed the immense amount of heat infecting ONLY my room in the whole house. I'm the only one with a PC in the house so could that be the problem? I have a 4790k @ stock settings running 30-50 degrees idle with an NZXT Kraken x31 120mm liquid cooler. I also have an MSI GTX 970 4GD5 OC which runs at around 24 degrees idle, while gaming it goes to around 60-74 degrees and I can feel the heat exhaust from my PC. The thing is, after a long amount of time with the GPU at idle with the AC running, whenever I enter my room, I feel an aura of heat, literally the second I step in. When I leave I feel free lol. Are there any solutions out there? I'd love to know, thanks!

I doubt a computer can heat your room up that much unless your room is stupidly small.

I've tried it.

My friend has this exact problem but it's even worse because he has two monitors, tv, pc and a ps4 all putting heat into his room.  It might be because you keep the door shut so hot air isn't able to escape and there's probably not an AC intake in your room which means cold is is being pumped in but not out.

Actually it will even in a moderately sized room.

huh. Neat.

[EBDoesStuff]

Hmm, what's better? Opening a window and my door? Or turning on my AC and opening my door?

Window and door. I think.

turning on your AC and keep the door close unless the hole house has AC

Your PSU can also give off quite a bit of heat, Go feel around it while your gaming.

34 degrees C and I'm in Canada. There's a fucking heat warning. But I experience this problem everyday.

Same happens in my room, and its not small at all, its a large bedroom. I just open the window and it fixes it

 

Im running 2x 1080's and a 6700k (liquid cooled)

 

Soon to be full custom loop

 

I end up sweating when gaming, not great on a leather chair haha

I doubt it, my EVGA 650 G2 shouldn't be putting out THAT much heat.

Yeah, you'll definitely want to open your door and leave your window closed.  Make sure the AC register in your room is fully opened and let your room be a functional part of the house's central air conditioning system.  Right now with the door closed all of the time, it's not part of that system.

lol, the thread is "hot"

Bad pun is bad.

Lucky Me I dont have this Problem, My Pc is down in our basement which is quite chilly and the room its in has lots of airflow and it quite large. Im sure its a problem for quite a bit of people that are in a moderately sized room with not alot of airflow.

My PC is right next to my AC vent, that won't really affect anything, right?

Full custom loop here and room temps only get worse the more effective your cooling solution becomes.
