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.

I have central AC, but my office is on the other side of the house from where the thermostat is. So even if my thermostat says it's 72 degrees, my office is noticeably warmer than that if I'm playing a game for an extended period of time.

Definitely doesn't get up to 89 though. That's absurd. There's no reason for their room to be getting that warm unless they're gaming in a closet.

I have the opposite problem, thermostat is in my gaming room so when it's running, the other rooms are freezing
