Has your PC increased in temps due to the weather?

My temps (CPU & GPU) haven't increased since March, so my fan set up is obviously doing its job, although my rig was silent before, I now have a low fan air movement hum

while my ambient temps have risen by 6-10c my fans are setup up to try and mitigate this. cpu has increased by around 2-3c and gpu 3-4c. so i would say my fans are doing their job. max fan speed got to 1000rpm on the 140mm exhaust and intake system fans and 1200rpm on the 120mm fans on my aio rad top exhaust.
 
If your PC is reliant on the air to cool then your component temperatures are directly linked to ambient temperature. Ambient temperature goes up 10C, so will your other temperatures.

I've never really understood the obsession over temperatures and actively monitoring them tbh.
 
I feel like my current PC emits a lot of heat

The CPU rad and the GPU seem to get hot as I feel the warm air

Maybe the fans blowing warm air on the rad doesnt cool it as in normal weather temps?

Of course things heat up, the weather is warmer. Your PC doesn't exist in a passive sense of static function, when the weather gets warmer your PC will do the same.

Shy of putting your computer in a closed environment that will always be the case.
 
Slight increase in temperatures - not as much as I thought there might be - but my PC is usually inaudible unless gaming (mostly due to the 4080 Super fans kicking in) or under heavy multi-threaded loads but in this weather I will hear the fans kick on for a few seconds intermittently now and again.
 
Slightly. My PC is old and the automatic fan speed settings are often not optimal so I use FanControl to speed up the fans when temps get a bit too high.
