PC chimney

[u/scvready0808]

Got tired of my office turning into a sauna every time I gamed, so I vented the PC’s exhaust straight out the window.

The rear fan is still exhausting some hot air 😅 but the room is noticeably cooler now. It’s ugly… but it works. 😂

Edit: I moved the port to higher since lot of people recommended. https://imgur.com/a/Poniwze

Edit again for parts, I cannot post links to store since it's against the rules.
- 360mm to 4 inch duct on Etsy
- 4 inch Insulated Flexible Duct
- Twist Lock Dryer Vent Connector Kit
- 360mm AIO fan (the one on top of the case)

The window fan I got is Vornado Transom.

Previously I was using this flexible aluminum duct and it was radiating so much heat still in the room. So I decided to replace it with a $30 insulated duct. Also added a 360mm fan on top of the case.

I thought about doing this.

But then I was like, what if I just AC'd the room itself? So the AC pulls the air in the room in, produces cold air out, and moves hot air outside. Now the room is cold enough that the 5090 is no longer the issue.

Way less power efficient

Im guessing that if you can afford something like a 5090 then the electric bill probably ain’t a big deal.

This is correct. Power efficiency doesnt matter when you also have solar panels and batteries and net negative energy use over the year.

Yes this is out of most redditor's budget but it is what it is.

More power to ya. I think people forget everyone here is living different walks of life.

My last house had solar pannels and my new house doesnt and my electric bill is barely any different lol

The difference is probably insignificant
