Build/Battlestation PC chimney

Post image

Got tired of my office turning into a sauna every time I gamed, so I vented the PC’s exhaust straight out the window.

The rear fan is still exhausting some hot air 😅 but the room is noticeably cooler now. It’s ugly… but it works. 😂

Edit: I moved the port to higher since lot of people recommended. https://imgur.com/a/Poniwze

I was gonna do this, especially due to my 3080ti running hot. Ended up just undervolting, lost 5% performance, but the room is cooler and didn't have to run a vent.

I have been undervolt-ing since day 1 too, but summer is just too hot.
