Hey guys,

as the warm weather approaches I wonder how many of your pcs suffer from high temps? my room is in a very awkard area and the air supply is limited...

So how do you guys keep the air temps standard?

In the end whilst gaming I have to take the case of just too keep temps normal...

looking forward to hear all your ideas

thanks in advance

cheers..

There's not a lot you can do really, except probably getting a standing office fan to get the air moving:

My computer is right next to my window, so I whack the window open and bust out my fan. Helps to have decent air flow in the case too

i just take the side off, its been off since last summer, cba puting it back on, i also got a stupid temp probe from my fan controller that bleeps if the temp goes above 35C or something, annoying :/ i could take it out but it means effort

I just stress test my PC under hot conditions (ie. no case fans/heating on full) to ensure it is stable, anyone can get an overclocked PC stable at some silly clockspeed on a cold day with 5 case fans on full wack.

I have a few case fans on in my full tower, cpu temp never goes about 40deg C, even in summer.
Case temp never above about 35.

ill b e getting watercooling for the summer... only thing im thinking is what happends when the water is hot. the fans can only cool it to room temp at the max

Well just keep a good airflow in your room/house and the summer heat shouldent affect it really.

Bought a mobile air conditioner last winter for a knockdown price. Best £70 I've spent on PC cooling so far
