Canadian winter cooling

[Leslie25]

Keeping my computer AM 9590 CPU and xfx rx480 GPU cooled all winter long, infront of my window, out of the case, i have nailed a peace of wood on the back of my sofa witch is infron of my window, and its a great idea for when your gaming to keep temps down!

holy shit - how did you do that - i might end up doing this

i open my window, when its not snowing out so the cold air blows in,   haha but the down side on it is i have to put a coat on sometimes if i want those low temps haha

 

i was thinking of putting my computer build in a plastic tote and make it water proof and nail it to the side of my house out side,  but i highly doubt my landloard wants somthing hanging out off the buliding  ,   so yea had to go with the idea i have now haha

And so the overclocking begins....

sounds cool, it's really impractical for me, plus my wife will not like that.

sadly the rx480 is not a very good at overclocking.

my girlfriend will probably freak out too - no luck here

yeah gtr can only do about 1450-1500 which is more than the 20mhz you get on nv

well i mean you also can craft a cat window perch without a carpet  

[Leslie25]

and i havent got into over clocking yet, dont wanna fuck some shit up LOL

Rubbish. You're not trying hard enough.

I think a cat would rather be warm though.

..... who said it was going to be for your cat?

I notice a massive drop in temps when I open a window as well... Canada has it's benefits.  My PC is 2 meters away from the window and my CPU temp drop roughly 10 degrees almost immediately.

haha yea thats great, keeping everything cool as possible is the best for it so the solder dont melt or somthing like that XD,  , but im hoping the copis dont get hot enough to mak the metal expand and retract wearing everything out faster

Not much point in temp drop if not increasing speed.  Like having nos in your car to make it look faster and never using it

there is a point, if you know anything about science, over clocking makes ur things not last as long as default speeds, hence why they are already clocked at what the factory tested them as,  atm i dont wanna over clock also because i wanna see what freezing point is best for everything to run safely

Using your gpu doesn't make it last as long so you shouldn't use it.  Then it will last longer.

The 9590 is factory-overclocked, though, so reducing its temperature is enough. There isn't much room to go higher anyway, and it's good to know the chip won't melt, the VRM won't burn

lol - i was considering doing dry ice over clocking - who needs dry ice when you can have the canadian kraken x62

but how long does the ice last?    like youd prob have to keep replacing it in the middle of a game? or ...
