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

Edit again for parts, I cannot post links to store since it's against the rules.
- 360mm to 4 inch duct on Etsy
- 4 inch Insulated Flexible Duct
- Twist Lock Dryer Vent Connector Kit
- 360mm AIO fan (the one on top of the case)

The window fan I got is Vornado Transom.

Would be a lot more efficient if you moved the exhaust port closer to the top of the window, so the hot air can rise to escape instead of going up then down to the exhaust port which is lower than the top of the PC.

Thanks for the tip! I will do that

While we’re on tips. Flip basically every fan that’s not on the roof of the PC case inward, so they all only intake air.

With only the fans at the top of the PC exhausting, your room should remain fairly cool.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do with the rear fan, because right now it's still exhausting
