All my fans are on full, should i lower them? im seriously out of ideas, and my comp is loud as xxxx too I live in the Pacific Northwest, east of the mountains. We have had temperatures well into the 90F to 100'sF for the past two months. I have central air (75F), but still turn on a stand-alone fan in my computer room aimed at my computer. It is a bit cool for me at times. I am using the stock HS/fan that came with my X2 4800+ and my temps run around 32-35C idle and 36-38C load/gaming.

tasr Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 .....what should i do? Turn the central air-conditioning on to lower the ambient temp. EDIT My computer room is in the lower level of the house and like the room below 60ºF. The trouble is I have three German Shepherds and then generate a lot of heat also. When the AC is off I use window fans and floor fans to pull the cool outside ambient air in to the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t want to turn the AC up-down then put windows fans in. Turn the fans on at night pulling the cool air in. The room temp will drop shut them of during the day. I run the AC and fans. My AC is set to 70ºF and I often use window fan when the out temp drops below that. I like it cool anyway and so do the dogs. You could direct the AC vent at the computer. Watch out for condensation. What volts are you using? Maybe open the case up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

green-man Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 man AC , back over here in the darkage , i mean England, u just dont get AC in homes. i get the same temp problems in my room 30c odd. the best thing i do is create a air stream through my room. i in my house i just shut all the windows ,on the side of the house my rooms on, then just open my window so the air can only come in or go out my window. even if there is'nt bugger all wind i can still get sum sort airflow through, its just getting the right windows open or shut.

AnUnknownSource Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 don't put your computer on the AC vent if it can also be turned to heat! lol you'd be posting one day about how you forgot all about it and came back and your system wouldn't power on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 my solution is always a ceiling fan or a regular box fan (that's all that has ever cooled my 'labs' beyond what the AC could do without running 24/7). Ceiling fans are great, they can suck up heat to the ceiling then the air is cooled and falls back down the walls (to be sucked up again repeatedly keeping it cool usually). Another good thing is to keep the comp room door to the rest of the house open so fresh air can be brought in (another positive of having a reversible ceiling fan). Igenerally just put a box fan in the doorway of the lab to bring 'fresh' (ie: cooler lol) air in from the rest of the house, which also can make warm air expel above it by the pressure/force of the fan (i just leave my cheapo Home Depot $10 box fan on lowest setting) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
