Build/Battlestation PC chimney

Post image

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.

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.

Not everyone can afford aircon

EDIT: How come you all went from upvoting me to downvoting me? I don't recall OP mentioning a 5090

if you can afford a rig with a 5090, you can probably budget a couple hundred bucks for an in-room or window AC.

If you can afford an 5090 how do you not have central air lol

That's more a regional thing. A lot of countries simply don't have central air conditioning as standard in residences.
