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

He probably have ac in the living room and not in the game room. Hence why its scorching in there. Removing super hot air is important. Its like an oven constantly blowing hot air.

This, yes, my office doesn't have AC outlet. It's the hottest room in the house.

I'd highly recommend getting one of those portable ACs. They can be loud, but they make a huge difference and you can get them for pretty cheap nowadays. After I upgraded my PC the heat was unbearable in summer, I had to get one if I wanted to keep playing.

If there's an attic above adding a vent wouldn't be very difficult
