Computer cooling and placement

[Im_Infinity]

currently its getting summer in the uk and i have my computer infront of my window but i have black out blinds now my question would be is it fine to have my computer infront of the window when sun will be glaring down on it or should i re position it

It should be fine in front of a window... just don't open it when it's raining

the window is next to being closed so rain cant fully get in so it would give me time to close it but as for the sun shining down on it producing heat is what i was worrying about

Like I said, it would be fine. The whole rain thing was just a joke.

It's obviously going to be hotter with direct sunlight on it -- I would avoid it if possible.

If your fans start spinning up real loud you'll know it's getting toasty (unless you have a manual fan controller). Probably not going to damage anything, but personally I would err on the side of caution and keep it out of the sun.

Think about getting into your car after it's been in the hot sun for a few hours
