Cooling your PC this summer

[Cupe]

What do you do to keep your pc and shit cool during the heat?

i found this piece of shit little fan and took the side off the box and pointed the fan at it

[Gandy]

[crundyy]

i get a fat bucket of icy water and pour it on my computer when it gets too hot...

[Cupe]

[Gandy]

[Buck_Choi]

lol if you have the money go for liquid cooling ,

if not best thing to do is put everything on low specs so it doesnt work as hard

LOL! That's exacty what I do with my old tower. Works well but the sound of the fans is annoying as hell!

[Buck_Choi]

use to do that too. actually had a flat.. square shaped fan.. the actual fan wasnt square.. the casing was.

[pulsebeat]

herd about this shit you stick around inside the tower that runs heaps cold or something

im homeless WHALE

next question

Open the doors on the shipping container.

Got a small pc fan from Jaycar think its 6 volts and will work out how to use it on a pc.

[eggssell]

you on a lappy cupe?

you can get fan stands for reasonably cheap. i got one from capitol square in syd (where buck said all the comp stuff is).

im sure it was less than fitty. has two fans on it.

if it aint a lappy, i dont know enuff but i think you can get heat sinks right?

[ChevChelios]

I do nothing

You could get a bar fridge, put it next to the tower with the door open, and take the side off of your tower case

Just dont have my laptop on my lap, keeps it much cooler

[CBG]

yeah im with chev. a whole lotta nothin...

Step 1 - buy cheap ass laptop cooling pad (with built in USB powered fans)

Step 2 - remove the fans

Step 4 - make another wall for your tower and cut holes and attach fans

Step 5 - plug in usb and off you go!

Better still...

Just use the cooling pad as the wall itself?

[SourceRaver]

Oh yeah...

For good cross ventilation put a fan on either side of the box. One sucking air in and the other blowing hot air out.

Surely buying a couple fans from an electronics shop and connecting them to the pc power supply can't be that hard?

[Buck_Choi]

Zaaaapppp zzzzaaaapppp

[FabDJ]

Got a neat laptop stand that lifts up and tilts the pc about 40mm off a table and folds flat from Reject shop for 4.00

[Cupe]

im talking about a desktop pc for all you people making laptop answers

my pc is on 24/7

[Funky_Steve]

Cupe, is it up against a wall?

I used to have issues with my desktop at home till I moved it away from the wall so the air could circulate better. Also my case has an LCD panel on the front which shows the tempurature and has a knob to control the speed of the fitted fan.

For the desktop in the DJ booth at the club, they have a desk fan blowing onto it whenever it is on.

[FabDJ]

Take off the cover for better ventilation

My fan died and I ran my desktop 8 hrs a day

with the cover off for about 1 year.

[Cupe]

yea i never leave the cover on.

might see if i can get it away from the wall and have the mini fan blowing on it

the mini fan seems to do pretty well, but its not really heating up weather-wise just yet

bring on the high 30's

(Oh, that's right, hes' been banned)

[Cupe]
