It's too hot :(

Guys, it's too hot

Don't be a silly Billy.

It’s now raining properly here. I hate everyone.

You can send it this way if you like (even if I did wash the car today)

i would, but it's all on the ground now. crappy rainy poo weather while everywhere else swelters

This heat is insane. My idle temps went up 10-15c. Anything I can do about that? Better case? Watercooling? I assume no, as the heat has to go somewhere. But does a better airflow case lead to better temps, or worse as it's sucking in warm air? What about those xbox-sized cases that can sit on your desk, rather than a tower in a corner?

Why worry about it?

Not like we get months of hot summer days here.

More like hot days you can count with the fingers of one, maybe two hands, for a whole year, if we're lucky.

Why is that an issue? Idle temps will still be way below your peak temps and pose zero risk to components.

Another glorious day of sunshine!

I think we will be joining you over the wknd when storms are expected.

Maybe heat wouldn't be an issue if I was more... svelte. Right now it's a hindrance keeping me indoors.

Are you trying to make me more depressed?! You’re on my ****-list now

 

[krooton]

25.2ºC in the study, sun hasn't even come round the front of the house yet, and I have a laptop, my main machine, my server, and a 32" monitor all chucking heat out, eek

I'm taping up my letterbox now!

If it makes you feel better it might be hazy sunshine! Or just full on cloud! :/

AMD cpu i run "cool and quiet"? think its called in bios. in win10 power settings i use "best energy saving" and
in advanced settings i set minimum cpu power to 1%.
idle always around 10c above ambient.

You'd think a 65w part on a 200w cooler at stock would be able to take care of itself. And I thought Ryzen Balanced was the best power setting? Doesn't changing bios settings get tedious when you want to game?
