Spring is too hot

~~craig588~~ · Apr 15, 2003, 08:07 PM

It's only spring and the temps inside my room are over 38C, my water cooled Athlon is at 33C, my air cooled PIII is at 70C!!! My athlon normally has temps around 10-20C and my pIII is nomally around 40C. Should I move my entire room into the basement for cooler temperatures? Does anyone have any other ideas? Air conditioners cost way too much for me to afford.

Fans Fans Fans! Buy you some fans and put em in your room. If you have no way to get the heat out though it wont help that much. You might look at getting a window fan if you cant get a air conditioner. A window fan that will get the hot air out. If you can move to the basement it would prob be about 5-15 degrees cooler room wise there.

How do you get that kind of temp? Thats 50 deg to 68 deg fahrenheit, colder than room temp! Do you use a peltier? If its just air cooled in order to get 10C your room temp would have to be around 40F, whats your secret?

I use watercooling.......

It says it in my sig and I said it above.

EDIT:ooo 300 posts

I use water cooling too. I get temps of 18 deg above what ever the ambiant temp is. I have a gallon of water in a resivor and half a gallon in the rad and pump and tubing. My water is always 9 deg more than what ever the room temp is. I can only get it to go below room temp with ice but it causes condinsation which is a bad thing. I check everything with a laser and temp probes. My motherboard is off by over 11 deg F. Could you give me some help with what you do to make yours so cool? What brand of waterblock do you use?
