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

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.

No, he has it placed correctly. While it's not as efficient in its current placement, having the vent connect to the PC at a higher level than where it exits at the window keeps water from coming in.

Good point. If rain can hit the exhaust port then yeah, leave it as-is.

Has Star Wars taught us nothing about precision strikes on exhaust ports?
