Hey

 

So I have one of those cases with 5 internal fans plus a nice CPU fan. The inside of my computer is really really cool but the problem is it pushes the hot air into my room. My room gets quite hot after awhile. What do you guys do about this? I'm thinking of getting a small fan to put above the computer and try to push the air out the window.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Try and get air conditioning for your home.

Yeah I know lol

 

Just looking for more of a smaller solution for the summer. I don't mind it in the winter when it's -40 :)

 

It also doesn't help that the rooms west facing.

I ended up adding a portable A/C to my simroom as it was +20F to room temp.

Window AC unit for under $100, problem solved

Fans for in your room to blow the hot air to another part of your house/apartment or out a window. Something like this maybe - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Holmes-Window-Fan/17133777

Build an elaborate heat exchanger system to convert the excess heat back into electricity using TVGTs and sell it back to the electric company. It'll cost several thousand dollars to build such a device, first you'll need to develop a working TVGT, but you'll recoup the loss in... well, like 500 years or so :) .

 

(BTW, TVGT = thermo-voltaic gizmo thingy)

Put a 2000mm Case Fan in your wall.

Try opening a window if your room gets too warm!!

I had the same problem, and only with FSX! Playing anything else is fine but FSX gets you sweating. Literally.

 

I installed a ceiling extractor fan on the opposite end of the room to the window. Works great, even on windless days, just generates some airflow from the window through the room and back outside. Uses very little power too, neglegible compared to an aircon unit. Just make sure you spend a little extra to get the "quiet" model, some extractor fans can be noisy!

A 2 metre fan? Um... I think you possibly mean 200mm! Unless you really did mean 2m, in which case we want photos!

One other thing to consider is switching over to water cooling, it may be a less expensinve alternative to buying an air conditioning unit....Not to mention the untold side-effect of over clocking :)

Um, I was joking!

 

However, a 2 meter LED fan in an exterior wall would also double up as Christmas decorations! Maybe BitFenix could come up with one!

Thanks guys for all the help, some good ideas I'll try.

 

PS I do have the window open lol

 

I do like the idea of selling it back to the electricity company though.......

 

Best
