The warmer weather made me realise something...

I've not been cold in this room all winter. Why?

Because my computers output a gzillion megawatts of heat, that's why!

Now that it's warmer, if me and my mate have been playing UT2004 on both comps for a while, this place gets toasty!

Still, when I sort my second desk out, a mini fridge with some cans in it will overcome that issue!

yeh i know the feeling. you dont realise how much comps heat ya room up until it actually gets hot outside...

then ur comp starts crashing and u wonder why. hehe. well its not actually that bad.

This weekend i was actually considering gettin a fan...every summer for the last 5 or so years i have considered getting a fan for my room, only like a 12" or something for £15..now i have the room, and a job i may well invest in one :)

My rooms quite big so the computers dont affect it too much, but the whole upstairs of my house is about 8 million times hotter than downstairs its insane....

I've spent the last winter with my radiator in my room, just the PC's to warm it, and boy did they work well (apart from when they broke :/)

yup pc's are a great source for heat, especialy the top of ur CRT monitor :). I havent been cold that many times when im in my room over the winter. My radiator is actualy turned off iirc. Over the weekend tho it got stuffy in here, but it was manageable. lol

yep as soon as it gets warm i start to cook in my room as its so small the combination of a large tv a 19" crt and the vapochills compressor (which pumps out 45.C air @ 45cfm into my room!!!!) makes for a sweaty time particularly when sat in a leather chair :(

+ my pc has crashed a few times due to the northbridge getting too warm ,damn zalman gold thingy sucks even with a 120mm fan blowing on it :rolleyes:

didnt realise Vapochills got THAT hot. 45C, u must feel like a toastie! lol

yep the compressors get very warm indeedy ,good in the winter but not summer ;)

its annoying me so much already that ive stopped leaving it folding so its not under load and is there fore a lot cooler

Actually a mini-fridge will raise the temperature in the room as the heat exchanger takes warmth from the internals of the fridge and exchanges it into the surrounding room as the coil cools. The cooled beer in the fridge however will probably do the job :P
(sorry for bein a smartass :P)

It gets awfully hot in this room in the Summer. Just walk out onto the landing or downstairs or whatever and it's much cooler :(

I've got a desktop fan that stays on in the scorching hot summer.. .Without it I will melt.

My CPU gets quite hot too :\ so I will be keeping a close eye on my temps!

Same happened last night, it got very hot :/

Yeah getting hotter here too.
My passive radiator watercooling system is not so effective in the warm :( and my comp is heating up :eek:. My new RAID array seems to pump out a lot of heat too :( .

Luckily it never really gets that hot here.

You heard the one about the polar bear in Cork zoo?

Baby Bear: Mammy, are you sure we're polar bears, like?
Mammy Bear: Yeah of course we are, like.
Ten minutes pass
Baby bear:Mammy, are you sure we're polar bears, like?
Mammy Bear: Of course we are like.
Ten minutes pass
Baby Bear: Maaammy are you absolutely sure like that we're polar bears like?
Mammy Bear: Of course we're polar bears like, what is your problem?
Baby Bear: It's just that I'm f***in freezin. :P

HeHe very good :D

I think the last line could have another like :D

Baby Bear: It's just like I'm f***in freezin like.

:P

ok enough not my thread

[/HIJACK]

I've already had the ambulance noise on my NF7-S about 10 times in the last 3 days :(

Bloody summer

Well I KNOW how a fridge works :P

And yes, the idea was the cold beer.

BUT if the idea was the cold beer then surely that will actually raise the ambient temperature causing you to have to drink more beer and this could eventually lead to a crash :P

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

You are indeed a noble warrior for the cause of scientific research, it is commendable :P

And the strange thing is that an electric fan will also raise the temperature of a room

.....aaaahh......but the wind chill factor......
