This. You technically don't even have to ask your landlord. When you move out, remove the mount and smash the living F$#& out of the window and say it was an accident. The landlord shall never know huehue and besides, accidents do happen.

 

EDIT: Or, simply mount a sheet of plexiglass in the window frame as @AshleyAshes suggested. Working with plexiglass is miles easier than with glass.

Are you sure your computer is heating up this room to over 100deg? Like how hot is your computer? If you're sure it's your computer that's heating up the room, maybe you could try making a basement water cooling solution, sorta like what ant venom did- 

also in the winter if your computer really gets THAT hot, you can literally use it as a space heater...

From everything I've heard, the FX is a heat monster. Maybe spend the $500 for a new Ryzen CPU, mobo, RAM, and maybe a newer GPU?

For a single room, you can get one that will do the job just fine for a bit over $100. Here's just one example https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-FFRA0511R1-Window-Mounted-Mini-Compact-Conditioner/dp/B00W2KG92Y/

These are called 'Casement' air conditioners and they are built to fit in windows like that.


Another option is a portable air conditioner, which uses a hose as a plate to exhaust through the window and those will fit most windows.  You can turn plate for the window to orient any way you want.  You can even cut the plate if it's too big for a small window.

These are the only TRUELY useful suggestions in this thread. No ammount of PC coolign will make your room cooler.  All that does is push the heat out of the computer more efficiently, it still heats the room just the same.  Unless you build some kind of cooling solution that exhaust the air to somewhere OUTSIDE of the room that is, but it'd be a lot easier and cheaper to buy an air conditioner
