Square to circle flange attached to the back of the PC via screws, a small fan halfway through the system, and a foam insulation board with wire mesh to make the end
With summer approaching, i’ve solved the hot room issue
HardwareDon’t you dare bring sense into this post!
Who gonna tell OP that hot air likes to rise. Whole top of his case is a cheese grater lol.
hot air likes to rise, yes, but it won't fight against just a slight tinge of general airflow from case fans. Only in a static air chamber will you have a meaningful heat exchange from bottom to top. Even adding a single exhaust fan in a case will negate any cold-to-hot airflow entirely.
This is the difference between simplified theoretical physics, and practical physics.
One exit fan does not make for negative pressure in a case with atleast 2 case fans as intake and possibly a PSU fan too.
So positive pressure in the case will force air out the top and any other place in the case.
yes, the one exit fan WILL exhaust some of the heat. but to me it looks like an AIO in front since i can't see any tower cooler in the first picture. so no cpu heat generated near the exit fan, and gpu might be blower style, which dumps heat outside of the case. if not it will just heat the generel air in the case and not near the exit fan.
So to sum it up. the air WILL be pushed out the top, the exhaust fan will have to have good pressure to make it all the way out the flex tube and out the filter in the window. it will help. but not "heat solved"
In that case yes, if only intake fans exist without a rear mounted exhaust fan -but it still has basically nothing to do with the heat exchange path of air, it's simply whatever path offers least resistance. Considering a gpu would be below-middle of the case, and the bottom would likely rest against a desk or floor, the natural pathway for air is to go out the top, but only specifically due to less resistance at the top, not due to heat fluctuation from bottom to top.
My comment is specifically and solely regarding heat transfer pathing, not general case airflow resistance. They are separate topics worthy of different discussions.
So is my case, but alllll the hot air shits out through the back cause you know, fans
Surely you’ve heard of fans before, right??
lol
Look at this fat cat with his means of egress
I don’t know why but this made me cackle real good.
In my old apartment I put a 5" hole in the exterior wall and used a portable AC.
I bet the landlord hated you for that one.
They never knew. I patched the hold when I left. Besides, it was their own damn fault for never fixing the AC like I asked. My bedroom was a whole 10 degrees hotter than the hallways of the house. All they had to do was adjust the dampeners but they never bothered to.
Not as much as mine hated the ol concrete in the sink trick. Always use a fake ID, kids.
what if you have horizontal sliding windows instead of vertical. that ac wont fit in my window
In-room AC is so terrible.
I have one of these models in my game room, it's actually one of the best investments I've made, keeps the room a solid 72 degrees when I'm gaming
It's terrible because it's not efficient. They still work great, but just cost more to run than a window AC with the same BTU output.
Why isn't it efficient? I ask because I am planning on buying this instead of the traditional window AC?
Technology Connections does amazing long form videos on this kind of thing.
The short of the reason is that all the energy used for the heat exchange is happening inside your house and so causing heat inside your house. Along with those vent pipes still allowing some heat to leak back into the house
It's actually less the vent pipes directly letting heat leak into your house (which is an issue, but also is an issue with the window units too because they don't seal perfectly) and more of an issue that the solo vent pipe sucks cooled air out of your house. When that cooled air leaves, it is replaced by hot air leaking in through all your house's orifices due to the negative pressure in your home. If you have a unit with two vent pipes (one intake and on exhaust), it's still not as efficient as a window unit, but is comparable and good enough if the window unit isn't an option because negative pressure isn't created in the living space.
Upvote for Technology Connections. Pure, entertaining, education with no fluff or catches.
I didnt have one of those pipes and the only pipe i could find was one of those metal ones. Holy fuck. Runing that thing over night and that pipe can cook eggs no problem.
Make sure to get one with two hoses. The one hose models use room air to cool the coils venting it outside
When I was shopping for one I actually couldn't find any at all that had two hoses, even when I removed the price filters from my searches.
I eventually caved and just got a cheap one with good reviews that was rated for my space, and I have no regrets. The difference in my power bill was not substantial. I see much larger spikes in the winter when we plug in our car block heaters.
Where do you live that you need aircon in summer and a block heater in winter?
(I'm in Aus and it can get to -5c or so where I am but we don't use block heaters, maybe in the snowys they do but I have no idea, i can only assume you use them for very negative temps?)
Because the machine heats up during the process, so it has to work extra hard to both keep the machine and the room cold
I am from the UK and I can't have a window AC this is my only choice and its a life saver let me tell you that
Dual hose is okay, not great
Better than a fan or nothing!
I have a 720sq foot minihome, old windows that open sideways, one small one that opens vertical. I've had window units, which are alright. But I got a portable AC like what was posted here. Hot air hose out the window, water hose out too so it drains. That sucker keeps my entire house almost too cold in the summer, and my insulation sucks. There are days I have to turn it down still. They aren't meant for huge rooms or anything but in my case, it does the job perfectly.
Also helps to keep a couple fans around. I find it helps to put a pedestal fan close to the front to help blow it around the room. I also had some heat tape. So I insulated the tube for the hot air out the window, that way the heat doesn't radiate off of that before it makes it outside. Helps to have heavy curtains for windows the sun stays on for long periods of the day Lots of little things help a lot
Has its place. Our bedroom is upstairs and doesn't get sufficient AC in summer time. Our floor unit venting out the window is a lifesaver come July and August.
PLEASE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY A PORTABLE AC, GET ONE OF THE DUAL HOSE UNITS.
Please I CANNOT stress this enough. DUAL. HOSE. Otherwise it's borderline useless. Please please please dual hose. Single hose should honestly be illegal.
I had these when I was a kid. My pop went down the road to an auto glass shop and had a piece of plexiglass cut to whatever size he needed. Popped that AC in my window and I enjoyed many a cool gaming summer.
There are also the more portable variety now that you can use.
That’s for people with no creativity!
How am I supposed to afford that when I overspent on an NVidia card and a $300 AIO
Replying to -TeamCaffeine-...
They're like $100 at Best Buy...
i’ll probably pick one up then tbh, people think i spent all this time and effort on this, it was $50 and an hour lol
Sorry, I actually meant Home Depot. If you wait until the hot season starts (usually around end of May) HD usually puts their cheapest units on sale to get people in the door. They're typically priced at around $100-150.
Good luck with your cooling solutions.
While it's definitely effective, my issue with the AC unit idea is that you're spending money on electricity to heat up the room via the PC then spending money on electricity to cool down the room via the AC. At least the duct doesn't actively cost OP money to remove some heat.
At least the duct doesn't actively cost OP money to
removeadd some heat.
That duct won't be removing anything and likely the air pressure from outside the house will be great enough to push hotter air into the pc from outside. Idk where OP lives but average wind speed here is ~12mph or something like that, so unless he can generate quite a bit of pressure in that vent, it's an intake.
Furthermore, even if the air pressure outside wasn't that high and he lived in a nice moderate area, the heat the case is supposedly supposed to vent outside would just get absorbed into the tube and radiate into the room anyway.
The best thing OP can do is to stick their computer halfway out the window.
That's way less energy efficient than OP's setup.
In fact, it would be more energy than the exact same AC, plus OP's heat exhaust, using different different windows.
NEEDS MORE TUBES. GIVE PC A DIRECT FEED
So extra energy cost of an ac vs a tiny fan?
And you guys think this is the more logical counter?
With the world spiraling towards an energy crisis? This guy solves his issue with minimal energy impact, but you want an ac instead?
Cool…
You really need your PC to be closer to that window. You want no bends if possible in that pipe.
My first thoughts as well. But he does have an inline fan half way through, so it is probably pulling more air than the original case fan.
More length = more surface area to radiate back into the room lol
Why no bends? Genuine question
You lose airflow with every bend, like 20% for ever 90 degree turn
learn something new everyday
The harsher the bend, the worse the affect. Even a gentle bend will increase turbulence which increases air resistance / reduces air flow.
Assume air is a pickup truck, and heat is fruits in its carrier. When the bend comes, the truck slams into it before turning. So the fruits fly off the truck and into the room. The ruck meanwhile, will keep going, just with far less fruits. If there are more bends, and those bends are extreme. More fruits are lost.
Boom. Axial fans aren't generally good for pushing air through a duct. If there's no other way, I'd suggest putting another fan pulling air through the duct out the window.
Crafting skill is decent. But lacking the knowledge of how airflow and heat transfer works.
Not only that but even if it did work it would create negative air pressure in the room which would make the hot air from outside the house come in to equalize the pressure, negating any “cooling”.
Same reason why single hose portable ACs are extremely inefficient and a dumb idea.
It makes me cry that this is the only kind of AC unit I’m allowed to have. My idiotic condo board is worried about the appearance of people’s windows if we were permitted to have windowsill units, so it’s literally written into the bylaws that the only permissible AC is a portable single hose unit. The alternative is to let my condo get to about 38°C in the daytime.
Single hose will still work and lower the temps in your room you will get just much less bang for the buck than with a proper AC.
Sorry, can you elaborate?
My understanding is:
AC has two air circulation requirements: one for the condenser (where the heat is extracted) and one for the evaporator (where the air is cooled).
A two-hose unit would have one intake and one exhaust hose, using air outside the home for the condenser to extract heat. The evaporator will cool and recirculate air inside the room. So air is circulating outside the room, with another circulating system inside the room.
A single-hose unit would have only an exhaust hose. It would use air from inside the room for both the condenser and evaporator. This creates negative pressure in the room, which means air has to be pulled into the room (via vents or gaps in the door, etc) and that air pulled into the room is warmer.
Did not realise air works like that. So if I pump air out of a room, it will actually flow faster into it through other means (if there are other means)?
It’s the same as inside your PC case.
That’s why it’s recommended to have neutral or positive air pressure. Negative air pressure will pull air (and dust) through the unfiltered gaps in your case, allowing more dust buildup inside.
My brain just turns off as soon as people start explaining airflow to me. However, I intend to learn this. I will look up lectures and take notes.
I have, what I think, is a pretty fair understanding of how this all works. I am by no means an expert, but hopefully this will help.
Let's think of a straw for a moment. You drink liquids with it. It's a cylinder that has two open ends.
When you drink something with a straw, you suck the air out of one end, and it fills up with the liquid. This is because you created a negative, or low, pressure in the straw, which drew in liquid from the other end.
Now, take the straw out of the liquid and suck air through it. Same idea, you've created a negative pressure inside the straw, which sucks air in from the open end. If you plug the open end of the straw with your finger while attempting to suck air through, it will quite quickly be more difficult to pull air out of the straw (to the point it collapses, because it is a weak material). This is because there is increasingly less air to pull from the straw as you suck. There is no positive pressure from another opening to fill the vacuum you created.
To draw the comparison to pumping air out of a room, it's a similar concept. In this case, the room is the straw. A simple bedroom would have a door and probably at least one window if not another door. The room itself is the body of the straw, full of air like a straw would be. If you had a fan blowing air out the window, it would create a negative pressure. If the door was closed, only small amounts of air could get in through the cracks around it. But open the door, and a positive pressure could flow in to fill the void created by the fan in the window.
Same concept applies to a lot of things in daily life. HVAC systems will have air intakes to balance the pressures as it pumps out air through the vents. Pressure differences in the air outdoors is what creates wind, among other factors. And of course in a PC, exhaust fans will suck out hot air while an opening or an intake fan will blow in the cooler air.
Don't know what made me want to reply, but hope it helps some.
Also to make it even worse if the portable AC only has to use air from the room IT HAS ALREADY COOLED to exhaust and cool the condenser
It gets the job done, it's just not very efficient because it is heating up the area around it and has to re-cool the air that it warmed up itself.
With a window AC unit, the hot part is entirely outside.
Best explanation:
Yeah, if you own a house buying one of those little window AC units as an emergency backup is super nice.
Our AC has gone out twice in two years in the summer. We have both kinds of portables - the single tube and a window unit for backups.
The window unit will make a room FREEZE while the tubed unit will just make it tolerable.
Wouldn’t a two hose work similarly as a single? As far as being visible to management. Would they even be able to tell it’s a double hose?
They’re ground floor townhouses, so yeah, they can see the outsides of the windows. And the bylaw says “single hose” specifically.
Honestly the whole condo board is tyrannical. We’re not even allowed to keep my daughter’s bike outside in the back; it has to be carted up from the basement every time she wants to ride it. These aren’t even nice enough homes nor are they in an upscale-enough area to merit their fuss about how the units look. But they want their perfect little slice of suburbia where nobody has mismatched patio furniture or a BBQ with any visible rust on it. I’d move but this is one of the most affordable areas in town.
“It’s just 2 single hose!”
That sucks. I don’t see the logic in barring two hose vs one hose, lunacy!
I have a "single hose" that is just 2 hoses combined together. Midea Duo I think. Not ideal cuz obviously there's heat transfer but maybe it's an option.
Are in Europe or 'ol Canadia?
The magnificent snowstorm occurring outside right now suggests it’s the latter.
I see. Well, regardless of where you are, it's damn shame that anywhere has adopted the grand US tradition of tyrannical HOAs. Straight up hilarious that a society that prides themselves on being 'the freest country in the history of the milky way galaxy' is so tolerant of flat out oppressive practices. Anyways, I was just curious as you utilized celsius, and that is a mysterious, unbreakable code to those through whom red 'murican' blood flows
Is a double hose portable allowed?
Nope, sadly. The specs in the bylaw literally say “a single hose portable air conditioner, placed a minimum of 30 cm away from the window”.
Since these are all ground-floor walk ups, we know they check the clearance too; we got a citation once for having a standing fan right up against the window to draw in cool air and were “reminded” by the bastards that we weren’t allowed to have any cooling appliances up against the window; because “appearances” or some bullshit.
Get a double hose, but put each hose in its own window, assuming you have two windows close enough.
God dayum that is stupid. I absolutely hate strict leases and HOAs.
My old apartment tried to pull something similar but then someone promptly notified them that they can't out right ban window AC during summer legally, in my state at least. Only able to have some safety requirements like an extra support brace.
AC like the "Midea duo" have a single hose appearance but actually are composed of two hoses. You should look into them.
Why the fuck would they limit it to the even shittier single hose versions? So dumb
Show this to the board and other residents and show that everyone is wasting money, you might be able to convince everyone in the condo to change the bylaws. Heck, tell the city and maybe they can make a law requiring them to be allowed for energy efficiency.
You can also modify yours to be a 2 hose system with some home improvement store trips.
HVAC tech here. The airflow from that exhaust is pretty negligible. While case fans can move 50-100cfm, they lack torque. When you start adding resistance like helical flex duct here, the fan starts to fail. I would be very surprised if this setup is moving 5 cfm at the outside termination. You could actually do the math on it if we find the pressure drop value from that duct.
Your standard bath fan also moves 50-100 cfm, but they have the torque needed to move that much volume through a certain length of duct. You can easily hear the difference in power between your bath fan and case fans. Bath fans use 10-60 watts, while case fans use .5-3 watts.
There are numerous bath fans in every home, and they require no pressure relief/fresh air intake on your home. The only time a fresh air intake is required in a residential home is when you start putting in range hoods that move over 400 cfm.
With all that being said I’d be more concerned about outside air coming in through this setup due to all the other more powerful forces happening inside the home.
Actually kind of want to run a temporary set up like this and measure the volume outside
This is the information we needed, and the test we want.
I appreciate you
Do you think a box fan in the window would be a more effective solution for OP?
They are, however, much more convenient. I replaced my window ac because I have sideways closing windows and I got tired of putting it in my window every summer. Absolutely worth the trade off. They still work
OP could get a tiny in-line fan from Home Depot for like $15 to help negate this.
in my defense, i am a plumber
I have a small office cupboard that I keep my pc in, and the door open to manage heat. On idle I can close the door and temps in the cupboard slowly rise from about 20c to 35c.
The cupboard is against an external wall, and I was thinking of a similar situation to OP, cut a hole in the wall with a fan to manage cooling the cupboard (with a dust/bug filter), so I can keep the door closed. I would probably connect it up to a heat sensor so it’d only activate when temps rise
Would this work? I’m a pleb and also don’t understand heat transfer very well.. would the fan blow in (and air would leak out the cupboard door gaps) or out (pulling air in from the door)?
It's not that it won't work but it's definitely not something you should do. You don't want to create a hole/penetration in an exterior wall to duct a PC to... It's just not worthwhile with all the work needed to do so including waterproofing the penetration. Plus you would want space for some kind of damper that will close it off when it's not operating to avoid backdraft or air coming inside when it's not running. You would also need to either allow air into the cupboard if you using it to exhaust or allow air out into the space if you have the fan blow in. But 100% you would want the heat blowing outside because in summer you don't want to blow hot air into the space. It'd be better to use conditioned air to circulate air through the PC anyway.
All around it's just not a good idea. I would consider a new place for the PC or if anything consider providing more ventilation through the cupboard into your space, do not mess with the exterior wall.
Also the fact that exhausting air out of the house can make it negative pressure and pull hot outside air in. This is why good AC units need to have their heat exchangers on either side of the wall. TBH this is going to be relatively minor for a fan like this that can probably barely move any air out of that tube. Overall I’d bet that more hot air will get in through the tube and insulation than will be exhausted.
No shot there's enough airflow for that to do what you want. It's just going to radiate from the tube into your room. I you want the hot air out, that tube needs to be a couple of feet at most.
that's what I was thinking, even with the rpm at max with the best consumer grade 120mm fan, I don't think it'd be able to effectively push through that tubing. they'd need to add multiple fans throughout the tube to really push it through.
No, you want insulation. Another hose inside outside that one will do the trick.
Yeah he needs to buy an inline duct fan. That'll move so much air on its own he won't need that fan in the back of his case lol.
Yep. Those AC units that have the tubs and are portable state as much. I have one as my room gets blazing with my PC and having it as short as possible really helps.
He could do it with some good server delta fans. Then he'd be building a noise isolation center for himself.
If you look behind the keyboard he has a coupler there. At first I thought that was an inline fan / coupler. If it was it might have been enough boost to suck the hot air out. But he would most likely need a second inline fan / coupler right before the bend to go out the window. But if he can find two powered in line fans. It just may actually work enough to have been worth all of that work.
that is a fan
Bro thought he cooked
I look forward to these Summer posts…
Bro askin to GET cooked
Go back to the hardware store and buy a duct booster fan of the correct size. Otherwise you won't get enough flow
Does those actually work though? Lots of low reviews on those on Home Depot
kid named thermodynamics
April 1st was 2 days ago.
you prolly got 2000-3000 invested in your gaming setup depending on your monitor, chair and game count .. spend 300 bucks on a dinky little air conditioner!
About 50USD at walmart
Best bet would be get a 3inch blower fan and hook on the end of this hose and have it pull air through the hose. It'll work better. Then wrap the hose in aluminum foil to trap heat inside so it doesn't leak into room.
Then wrap the hose in aluminum foil to trap heat inside so it doesn't leak into room.
This works surprisingly well. I had an air conditioner which measured something like 110-120 degrees at the hose. My wife wrapped the exhaust hose in foil, and the external reading dropped to something like 85 degrees. The difference was noticeable.
Captain here: he's pumping the hot air into his sister's room
I live within 100 miles of like five hydroelectric dams. I run my central air non stop and I’ve never had an electric bill over $80. The shit some people have to go through.
I’m in Texas mine runs about 200-300 depending on ac usage and I have to keep my computer room closed cause of toddlers it gets hot in there with the ac but I just bought a fan to blow around my hot air
Get your house reinsulated. My new build with new types of insulation is incredibly efficient, even in the summer
My power bill is frequently over $500 USD in Maryland. I still run the AC though. :(
Global warming intensifies
[X] Doubt
HVAC contractors hate this one simple trick!
You’re going to screw over your house’s/apartment’s cooling doing this.
Your AC works gradually. It doesn’t just suck in 90f air and spit out 76f air. It takes that 90, spits out 89, then recools that to 88, and so on. When summer time hits, your window exhaust is going to be blowing warm air out of your house. That air has to be replaced somehow. It’s going to get replaced by hot air leaking into your house from under your doors/windows, etc. Your whole home is going to be a lot warmer because your exhaust. Your AC is going to run a lot longer, and your electric bill is going to skyrocket.
Source: I did this once.
out of all the reasons why i shouldn’t do what i’ve done this is the only one that makes sense, everyone here majors in thermodynamics apparently.
regardless my question then would be, wouldn’t plugging in another AC or cranking my homes AC also result in a higher energy bill? what’s the best way to cool my room ;-;
Hey OP I had done this previously, like everyone said it didn't work. What did end up working though is I custom loop cooled cpu+gpu and then put the radiator outside the window. Works like a charm to reduce room heat. It's probably not very immune from dust and rain, but for what it's worth it's been running for 2 years with zero hiccups now. I use EK ZMT tubes and Noctua fans for the radiator.
I must say though, custom cooling ain't cheap. The whole thing ended up costing twice the price of an air conditioner. I just don't like using an air conditioner all the time.
Yeah sadly I don’t have a great solution for you. You can try doing what you’re doing but if your house is unusually hot this summer just remember you’re exhausting slightly warm air out your window. It took me forever to figure out that my ac didn’t just suddenly start struggling for no reason.
Reminds me of the LTT video with the greenhouse box
Linus went from car radiator outside window to using his pool... Double closed loops he just uses the thermal mass of his pool it is VERY INEFFICIENT but it worked.
there is a cheap 4" booster fan at Home depot he can put in the middle to incease the airflow
Just put your AIO radiator outside, problem solved
Now hook that hose to a big aluminum radiator with fans then run a hose back to your pc. Turbo!
So funny story - air flow speed is the inverse square of the length of the tube it flows through...
So you ain't getting any decent airflow through that tube bro!
Why don’t you collect all the heat into compressed bags then send it to Antarctica? There’s research stations dying for this stuff down there.
Not gonna be very effective, I suggest either moving the pc closer to the window, or adding an additional (significantly larger) fan at the end of it.
You’re going to cook your pc…
My PC is in the basement so it always cold down here
“Why are there acorns in my PC?”
This setup looks… exhausting
Would it not also help to have a way of pushing more cool air into the pc as well
Peasant solution, I wouldve made a hole in the wall
There is no way the exiting force is enough for this to make sense, no?
My problem is I can never get the temperature right with my PC on. With the PC on, the room gets too hot.
So I then turn on the AC. But then the room is too cold. And adjusting the AC settings, either the room is still too cold, or the room goes back to being too hot. I can never get the temperature just right.
Tube city
I love these DIWHY set-ups posts lol.
Move the pc to the other side of the desk? By the window.
Looks like an illegal grow op haha
Why not just put the pc on the other side of the desk in front of the window lmao
Or get a functioning ac
You might want an exhaust fan at the window too. The little PC fan is not only pulling the air volume from your case, but also pushing against all the air volume throughout the entire tube. Air weighs next to nothing, but for a single 120mm electric fan, it might make a big difference.
My dude is gonna have a squirrel in his pc, and he's gonna be like "ITS ALIVE"
DIWHY
Shit, I solved that issue too, but I just installed an A/C unit lol...
You made your pc a gloryhole? Neat
In for one wild summer
My dude, that tube will do absolutely nothing. The entire rest of the case is going to exhaust the hot air because air takes the path of least resistance. You're better off buying a window ac unit.
It’s likely the air coming it will rebound the hot air into the PC.
Is that tube insulated? Wrap it up in foil or it will act as a heat diffuser.
Why not just get a fan
Wow you put a lot of work into it don't let the hate on it get you down Did it improve your indoor temps though and does warm air come out the end of the tube?
This is fucking stupid.
I hope the reddit karma was worth the time and effort it took to put this together and the time and effort it will take to take it down.
Just be hot and drink water, sweat some of that stomach fat off
While there’s some people saying it’s not gonna work I’d love for you to come back and prove them wrong. Can you take some temps with and without this. Maybe one with your desk moved and the shortest possible tube length too to see if it’s indeed radiating out of the tube.
i think linus did something like that a couple or few years back
was thinking about doing something similar but then bought a large floor fan which i placed on my open window for fresh air
I've always wanted to do something like this for summer. You would want alot shorter tubing and a bigger extractor fan at the wall tho
I think the real question we're all dying to know here is: How the hell are you supposed to use your desk with that big hose in the way?
What about all the heat coming out of the top lol
Even if you added the extra inline fans to make this work you would then be creating negative pressure in the house and drawing unconditioned air in from all the leaks same as those crappy single hose portable a/c units.
A for effort I guess
Mount a fan at the other end to help pull the air.
Reminds me of that dude who cooled his PC by hooking it up to his AC vent. His temps were crazy low. I don't have the link for it sadly 😮💨
Say sike
Raise the tube up so it isn't taking desk space
Yeah my setup is right against my window so I have a noctua fan in a custom wood panel to vent fresh air in since my rooms insulation is extremely good at trapping heat and not cold
Redirector
Bit late for April fools mate
I have a shoebox lined with foil on top of my exhaust and a room fan sucking air from the box straight out the window. my pc is right infront of the window however.
Buy A/C < cut hole in wall and cover 30% of desk with a tube
That's not gonna work how you think it's gonna work. Shoulda asked More knowledgeable people first. Like others have said, you should've just spent the time and effort on am air conditioner
Why can't your PC be on the other side of your desk, right by the window, or in front of it?
pink desk is not my desk
Who wants to tell him
You basically just guaranteed that all the heat will be held around your area longer.
lol'd
I feel like a lot of that outflow will get stuck in the tube and your pc will run even hotter. You'd need a very powerful fan for that to work like you want it to. You can buy portable A/C for pretty cheap. I recommend you do that instead. Or get a window A/C they cost more but they work very well. You can have your room feeling like winter in the summer
Lmfao
Only thing you’re doing is rendering your central AC useless.
Slap 2 fans on top as intake and it should work quite abit better
A man should not have this much power
Genuinely a creative solution. I think instead of routing to the outside of your home you should route to the door outside of your gaming area. Place in the upper part of the frame.
Not sure if this has been debunked but one solution in the past was to take a fan on a stand placed by the door to exhaust heat out of the room. Cooler air would enter the room from the lower part of the door helping to circulate the air within the gaming room.
