Pentium D 820

The rest is irrelavent 😉

Try Water cooling?

The heat produced by the chip has to go somewhere and if I am to understand Water Cooling, it is dispered through the radiator which doesn't solve my problem. Also, I'd like to do something that doesn't require a large financial investment. 🙂

On that note, I'm out of here.

Hey, I left some rubbers in there!

I have the same problem. It's my reciever that creates most of the heat though. After an hour or so of use it gets quite hot.

Buy a couple of table top fans...that might help (plus they're inexpensive).

Lesson in physics for all the people that think water cooling or more fans causes less heat...

Water cooling and/or more fans will just keep the computer components cooler. However, the computer will still put out the same amount of heat and dissipate that heat throughout the room.

Yes, some recievers can get massively hot. It's a tie between my X360 and my Onkyo as to which gets hotter, though. After a few hours playing at party volume, the reciever has scalded me, but the X360's exhaust air heated up the glass shelf enough to probably warm food on. Needless to say, I don't run either of them when the sun is aimed at my window.

Here's an idea: dump your room-heater CRT for an LCD?

if budget isn't a problem, how about the miracles of air-conditioning?

The heat still has to go somewhere. If he was really ambitious he could pipe the radiator to the outside or something.

Invest in an A/C unit. Either a window shaker or a free standing unit. Upfront cost might be a little high but it will be worth it in the end.

Not if they use a water-water exchanger tied into central chilled water. 😉

You stay, I'll leave. It's getting cramped in this closet anyways.

But it's so comfortable.

How about we get Tom to leave?

No! I"m never coming out!

QFT

if you have the duct work already installed, invest in a central ac unit

Underclock?

Turn the PC off?

Get a cool A64 of some kind? (You could sell the D and so on, I dno, just a thought)

Duct exhaust air out of your room somehow.

Open the window, and then, if it rains, shut it.

Move the PC away from the window/into nice shaded ground level area of some sort.

Become less sexy.

The ONLY way to stop the heat is to turn the PC off.

I've been doing that for a week now, and you can tell when my PC has been on for an hour or so. Does it REALLY have to be on while you aren't using it?

If the only thing that bothers you is that you don't want to wait for it to start up to check email and such, put together a cheap older system (like, 600-700Mhz) and enjoy. You don't need much faster for surfing the net.
