The room I have my computer in is like an oven 24/7 it is always about 30deg Celsius ( 86deg Fahrenheit) regardless of outside temperature. And gets hotter when it heats up outside. Ⓜ The heat is coming of a PD-3.2 GTX7800 3 drives chipset 680w power supply I couldn’t believe that a computer could generate so much heat. :h: Looking into it I found an article that made the point that a cpu is 40x more efficient at generating heat than an iron based on surface area. I have a fan in the room but it is little help, I think my only solution to make the room bearable :jail: is to spend $1000 AU on a portable air conditioner. This is not something I thought about when buying the computer…… :diss:
