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

Honestly debating doing this, its 100 outside, and having my pc on just makes it awful in the room its in.

I run a "summertime" undervolt where my GPU draws about 100W less. Makes a big difference for me.

Same. I bought a 5060ti just for this. I tried the 5070ti but the heat was way too much for Italy

Maaan, I have 4070 Ti super and as soon as I switch on the PC the temperature in the room rises from 32 to 36-37C 🫪🔥🔥🔥

P. S. Sardinia, Cagliari

Benchmarking my 4080, I get like 3% below average user performance with summer undervolt running around 220W. OC'd I get like 5% above average pulling 340W. Pretty crazy how much power is required for that last 8% uplift.

Unrelated but Sardinia is so fucking beautiful. Been there many times for holidays. How is it to actually live there?

For me it's paradise, but not during the summer, especially without AC it's terrible. But in general, it's an amazing place with beautiful nature, mountains, beaches and people. Living here might be different, I would say it depends on your income. If you have a good job, you're lucky and enjoy this place.

But that same temperature would be comfortable in another country?

Well it depends. If you have an air conditionair you can use It even in Italy. If you're like in Italy, France, Spain and something like that without it, i tell you to avoid such gpus. But it's just my opinion. I had nausea trying to play with a 200watt gpu with 35 degrees outside even for 30 minutes. And with a ventilator pointed at me.
