Keeping things cool

[dog-man]

As I overclock and even with several fans my computer suffers at this time of year.

I was thinking of making an extraction hole out through a wall to the outside and rigging up some form of tubing / fan / vent setup.

I was wondering if there was anything available on the market for this or am I going to have to be inventive and work something out myself?

i am getting silly temps now. my computer is directly under the window and while its sunny i am getting idel temps in the high 30s for both my cpu and gpu, going to 70s during gaming.

if the temp is 20-35 outside it has to be a little hotter right by my window. so these temps seem reasonable to me. it cant be cooler inside the case than it is outside.

you just have to turn the fans up a bit.

Well you could use a circle cutter and make a hole as you would for say a tumble dryer and run the same tubing out but it's a bit extreme...

I used to dial back slightly during the hottest days, having multiple BIOS profiles saves time, but even through house is sweltering atm not noticed more than few degrees difference in temps certainly nothing to be worried about.
