I seem to be a minority of people who have this issue. Or maybe nobody else mentions it.
Does everyone with a gaming quality PC have to put a fan in the window or turn on an AC? I have a friend with a similar setup to mine that doesn't have this issue. Although, there are unknown variables...
I took a loot at the video card recommended and I'm a little confused.
Here is my current card

Here is a HD6850 I'm looking at

What exactly would I look at to know that this one runs...
Well that would cool the temperature of the items, but not the room. That will move the heat more efficiently away from the GPU, but the heat will still be there in my room.
It's not so much that my PC is overheating, it's that I am.
I posted here a while back about my room heating up to unbearable temperatures due to my PC's high outputting components. I got a lot of good feedback, but I think I am ready to attack the source instead of working around it.
I have given up. Sort of. I will still have this PC for certain...
This reply is retarded. Much like any reply that says "how can I reply to something, without actually contributing something?"
But for serious, my issue has actually gotten a lot better with the recent drops in temperature. I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, but now that autumn is here the...
Pretend there is not an AC there. Please. It WILL NOT be fixed soon. I can not move the AC. I can not replace it with something else. It is not my wall.
For those of you that have kept these two things in mind, I thank you for your advice. I'll be rigging something up soon, so I'll let you...
When I come home from work, I'm usually either doing more work on Photoshop, After Effects, or Premiers CS5. I also have been playing some Starcraft II and plan on picking up The Old Republic when it comes out. I haven't been gaming as much on my PC because of the heat, but I used to play a good...
There is ONE other way...
I could build a new PC. I don't have a lot of cash, but if I can reuse some things from this and save a bit, maybe I can research and find out a good setup. I assume I'd be sacrificing performance, though. Right? Less heat is less power, usually.
I could keep the...
The AC is something we worked out. It's a weird old model that is in wall, so it needs special attention and repair, and because it's not hot out anymore I'm letting it be for right now.
Above me is nothing. The attic ends somewhere in the middle of my bedroom, and the closet is past that...
So here it is. Because of my very limited space, I have mounted shelves to hold everything. If there's anything else you want to see, let me know.
