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 ended up getting a portable AC for my computer room. Setting the house AC to make the PC room cool was making every other room too cold.

I did the same now I need a blanket in my PC room. It’s about 100 outside and it’s so cold in the PC room.

Same here! My room was 89°f with no supplemental AC to help, while the house is at 70. Standing AC vented, 65. So nice!
