Question PC makes the room hot ?

[rebal79]

I had built my first desktop complete back in 2017 and it's great and i was happy when i first fired it up. I can be in my room working and it could be a hour when the room starts getting hot like sitting in a sauna. The psu that i have is EVGA supernova 550 G2

I have in my desktop PC:

Well, yeah, that's what PC cooling does. It removes heat from the PC and moves it to the room the PC is in.

Either your PC needs to use less power or you need to have an active cooling solution to remove heat from your room.

I assume to leave out some details.
I have all of these.

That's all i have. What PSU size would i need for that. I was planning on getting a new desktop caes with air flow. The one that i have is good but to darn bulky.

 

[DSzymborski]

I'm extremely confused; what does this have to do with the PC making the room hot? The room will be equally hot no matter what the case is; if anything, a case with good airflow will more efficiently heat up the room by being more effective at transferring heat. Case airflow matters in *removing* heat from the PC *to* the environment.

 

[rebal79]

The first desktop that I had built many years ago, the case itself didn't have airflow, just the one in the back with a fan. Now, i have built my own. It has a good airflow two fans at the top, two in front and one in the back I can hoover my hand over the top of the case as feel the warm air blowing out. https://www.e-shop.gr/images/PER/ART2/PER.815008_1.jpg

This PSU is what i got https://www.newegg.com/evga-120-g2-1600-x1-1600w/p/N82E16817438033?Item=9SIA2F84BD0571 and it says Maximum Power is 1600 W.
All i have other then the AMD, two 16Gb memory sticks is a GeForce card since i be working on MP4 a lot. Maybe i need a smaller PSU

https://www.newegg.com/cooler-maste...20pk-r2/p/N82E16835103099?Item=9SIA1N83YW8246 it just don't fit, will this keep things cooler

Smaller PSU is not going to help, it gives as much power as required of it by system. If system requires 500W that's how much it will get even if PSU is nuclear power plant. If nothing else, oversized PSU would heat less.
FX 8300 is relatively hot CPU, CM 212evo is hard pressed to cool it, you need better one.

You won't be able to reduce the heat generated unless there are significantly power efficient components than your existing ones.

The fact that the room gets hot is quite bad, meaning it has low airflow (the room). This, ofcourse is bad for you, and you should have propper ventilation for the room.

Once again, unless there's a language barrier, you're misunderstanding what a PC cooler is. They don't make your room cooler, they make your *components* cooler, by more efficiently transferring the heat that's present inside your PC to the air outside your PC.

If you want your room to be cooler, you either have to remove the heat more efficiently (with exhaust fans to the outside or even more effectively, an air conditioner) or have your PC require less power.

No, it doesn't.
For your room to reach 90 degrees the PC would have to be on fire just like the coals in the sauna.
If you live in a cold climate and are used to very cold temperatures then you will be able to feel the PC warming up your room, but don't be over dramatic.

Open up hwinfo and look at the power draw of your CPU and your GPU, that's the amount of energy going into your room.
It can be that the 8320 is heavily overclocked and draws a lot of power.
The 1050ti can't draw much.
Tell us the power draw so that people can judge if it's too much or not.

 

[geofelt]

What is your problem?
Your room is too hot?
Or, something else?

What is the make/model of your monitor?
Older units can generate lots of heat.
(my cats used to love sleeping on top of crt's)

Your FX8320 is an inefficient and hot chip.
Particularly if you have overclocked.
It may well generate 250W of heat along with your other components.
To lower temperatures in your room, open the window, and open the door to your room to get some airflow.
Do not worry about your psu, it will only use the power demanded of it, and is operating in the more efficient middle part of it's range.

 

[stonecarver]

Although your format of your posts are kind of unclear I think were all getting the gest your in a hot box. You either have great insulation and keep it closed up or you live in a hot region.

We fight the heat every summer 110 to 115 F and regardless of Pc on or not it's hot. Add the Pc and have to get creative to be comfortable.

A fan blowing in the doorway out of the room will move some air to feel cooler. We get so hot we even have clip on small fans that blow over your arms to mouse/ keyboard and mouse pad.

Sometimes it's a fight to open the window to 115 F outside to inside it's 100F.

In winter Pc heat is a life saver Summer it a curse. Best I can say is get some fans to move that heat out of room.

I have windows 10 on my desktop.
So, How do i see about on how much my CPU is drawing. All i do is edit on videos like putting my dvds on MP4.

 

[punkncat]

HW Monitor should show anything you wish to know on a semi recent system. If I read that right you may have an AMD CPU (?) for which Core Temp does a better job for the actual chip/die temps.

My home office gets absolutely scorching in the summer when both people are working. I had been using my personal gaming PC as the work machine. In spite of mitigation attempts, it turned out to be best to build a low power rig specific to that purpose and only use the gaming rig when I am alone in that room. One of the mitigations I did was to add a fan to the room fixed from the far corner blowing directly at the door. I made sure there is a fully clear path from the return vent as well.

The plus side of my own situation is this room is the most comfortable one in the house in winter.

 

[rebal79]

Well, i planning on rebuilding my desktop, by getting a new case with lots of airflow and not so bulky as the own that i have now.
As for the CPU, i have a real good on that i had bought back when i first built it https://www.newegg.com/cooler-maste...20pk-r2/p/N82E16835103099?Item=9SIA1N83YW8246
I never installed it at the time, because i thought it didn't fit but, i forgot about t he black plate to add to the back of the board to secure the CPU to the board, I got the best one i can get to keep the CPU as cool as possible.
So, I don't play games on my desktop, I just edit on videos to play om my media player connected to the TV. So, what would be a great AMD CPU for just that reason

AMD FX-8320 is 11 years old now.
It was already 5 years old in 2017, when you built your pc.
Build a new system.

BTW - what is your ambient room temperature?

what u mean on ambient room temperature?

 

[CountMike]

what u mean on ambient room temperature?

Room temperature close to intake to PC. Air temperature inside the case and exiting case can not be lower than that, only higher as some heat is transferred to it form components.

 

[SkyNetRising]

what u mean on ambient room temperature?

Take an air thermometer into your room and read temperature value.
You said, it's hot like sauna.
I don't quite believe, you have 65C to 90C in your room.

 

[rebal79]

Well during Fall and winter cold, the pc kind of warms the room, the way i always thought about it.
I have now i plastic PC tower case with lots of airflows.
My first desktop that i had built many years ago was just a in close steel or metal case.
Now i think about it, i get a steel or metal case with lots of airflow. and accuse the heatsink. I have a aluminum case for my raspberry pi looks like a little desktop case.

 

[Ralston18]

Question regarding "I have now i plastic PC tower case with lots of airflows."

Make and model case? Source?

Are you able to take a photograph showing the case, the interior of the case, the fans, and airflow directions?

If so, do so, and post the photographs here via imgur (www.imgur.com).

Yes: heat generated within the case by the computer's components will be transferred/exhausted into the surrounding environment (your room) by the fans and airflows as has been discussed thus far.

Consider that the issue may be that the computer is overheating for some reason and that the end result contributes to an overheated room.

After reading my goofed up question, I'm going to rebuild it, by getting a steel or metal case with lots of airflow. i already had bought s CPU heatsink

 

[Ralston18]

Not necessarily a goofed up question.

Just remember that the heat removed from the computer's components/case (no matter how the heat is removed) must somehow go somewhere.

That somewhere currently being into your room.

Two options: 1) reduce the heat generated by the computer and/or 2) find a way (as has been suggested) to remove heat from your room.

Option 2 does not require any rebuilding, new case, airflow changes etc..

It would be enough to study some laws of physics, like preservation of energy. Those are only laws without loopholes and lawyers can't challenge.

You are not going to solve this issue by buying a new case that is metal instead of plastic... Your PC is dumping heat into your room and the only way to help mitigate this is by getting cooler air from outside the room in or getting a more power efficient PC for the work being done.
