Need Some Help ! LTT Save me !

[KindredCo]

Hello everyone ! 

 

I came here because I've been watching the channel for a while and knew there was a video but not only can I not find it but I'm in a tough situation. 

 

I'm a 23 year old stat at home dad who streams full time in the evening after the baby is down. My channel is growing which is awesome! BUT MY OFFICE IS SO HOT (sorry caps). 

 

Between my two monitors, PC, and TV (tv only on during day when baby is playing and I'm programming the stream) the room gets up to 81°F ! Which is insane !. Not to mention I'll be adding a green screen which will need lights. I can't handle it any hotter!

 

How can I get my room to be low 70s if I'm on a budget. A DIY would be great since I have little to no income. Send me the right direction guys or help me come up with a solution ! It's hard out there being a stay at home dad Lol. 

 

Room is 11ft deep

14 feet wide 

7.5 feet tall 

 

The house has air conditioning but it's an old house so the new unit can't properly blow air into my office because I think the vents are too thin. Please help!

A bag of ice cubes on your lap and another on your PC should do the trick.

Maybe getting the PC out of the room can help, try measuring temps without the PC on some time.

This will require some longer cables, so it's not a free solution though. Maybe you can get some company to sponsor you in that endeavor and in return mention it in the stream or something?

I agree that getting the computer out of the room is going to help you the most

He did mention he's putting in a green screen, so he may be planning to put the game behind him and have himself the the bottom corner like some streams I've seen.

 

OP: 

That'd be better, since if you apply for a sponsorship, you can actually wear the product (shirts, headphones, etc) and use their peripherals, and people will see them and ask about them. That gives you a chance to rep the product without annoying ads or anything that may make your viewers grumpy.

With the approval of the homeowner I will move the PC, (we live with my wifes mom till im out of school). In the case she doesnt want cables and computers everywhere what real solutions have you guys seen ? Im Still concerned about having lighting for green screen as well causing MORE heat.

Ive looked into using LEDs because some advertise not causing heat but im skeptical. (What do you guys know about no heat lighting)

 

Would changing my computers cooling help as well ?? Not sure what that costs or if its worth it. but maybe another avenue ?

 

[TheLagDidIt]

try finding a way to make pc exhaust out of a nearby window? or water cooling. use led for green screen lights. you might also use a webcam like the Razer Stargazer

I'm pretty sure the video you're asking about is whole room water cooling. Although that's not really practical. You cold easily vent air out if you have a case fan. Get some duck tape, dryer hose, and cardboard. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out but the homeowner could have problems with the levels of jank.

LEDs will use less electricity and thus create less heat than standard lighting, but they'll still heat up. If you computer temps are really low, you can lower the fan speed, which will keep more heat in your computer than in your room. However, temps will definitely go up and it's still preferable to get your computer out of the room.

27c  room temperature is good maybe what you need is fresh air circulating on your office try putting a  fan on the door so you dont feel hot, if that dont work  the only thing you can do to be below 70 f room temperature is a window ac unit  or a mini split.

[Trustadz]

Treat the room as a PC case and add fans in areas where it is possible and acceptable. Let the air also flow. If you only have one opening it won't help much as hot air cannot get out. As for the greenscreen and lighting I'm not sure you'll need that. A high contrast background (a white wall for example) can work exactly the same way. You'll need a three point lighting setup if you're close enough to the background to cause for shadows (shadows means darker means lower contrast).

 

There are some DIY projects to make any ventilator into a cooling air ventilator. You could, for example, mimic a fridge with cooling liquid dumping it's cool temperature on the back of the ventilator. Or just go with the f*ck factor and drill a hole in the door of a fridge and put a vent in there. Might bring the power bill up quite a bit though.

 

But, by far the easiest and cheapest solution. Cool yourself down. Having a cool water bath at your feet would do wonders! Take occasional brakes and give yourself a little sponge bath. Your face, especially the ears, are very important for how you feel the temperature. Drink a cup of hot tea, this will raise your core temperature, but your body will fighter harder against it making you cooler in the process.
