>40°C outside

My PC is melting.

Is there a reasonable way to transfer the heat of the PC outside the room? Just buy 5 meter long cables for everything and put the whole thing outside the room?

According to OP the PC is already outside.

>>105765515 (OP)
no it isnt, most components are fine with 50C.
your CPU can cope with 100C

>>105765515 (OP)
Either your cooling is ass or you have housefire components in the first place and won't lose much if you just power limit them a bit.

>>105765526
What about those AC hose? Can't you hook one to your pc exhaust to get all the heat transferred outside and not turn your room into a sauna?

>>105765753
Why is the hose going into a solid surface and why the fuck is there a hand crank? What am I looking at?

That's a crank window. Plastic slat sits between sill and window. There's a hole in that plastic slat for the tube to exhaust air.

>home server draws 200w idle
>move hard drives to new server that isnt running a threadripper
>discover hard drives alone were pulling 120 watts
A-at least I'm pulling only 160W now, r-right? And it'll be less once this takes over as my NVR from one of the last of the intel Mac minis, r-right?

your electrical components dont feel heat the same way we do. sure they get a bit hotter because its 30 something celsius instead of around 20 or less, but not by that much.
(you) are going to feel it much more since it dumps that heat in your room and if you also have high humidity you are fucked.
i would know since my room is about 4x5m with only 1 window and there's a receiver, active subwoofer and of course my pc in there too all running at the same time and there's like 60% relative humidity.

per drive*

I've been watercooled for 11 years, last week changed my pc and it's on air now what an oven!

ai slop

My gpu's hotspot reaches to 115 C nigga stop whining.

>>105766059
bro your drives should be spinning down
if they are constantly spinning you have designed your system improperly

>>105765515 (OP)
modern pcs automatically throttle.

>>105769060
Well dude I'm gonna. Also it was 5 hard drives. And maybe it was Ubuntu being stupid and ignoring the hdparam.conf settings, maybe I last measured "idle" power draw while I had some file in the BTRFS pool open.
>>105767740
If I'm buying new storage a more sensible approach would be to replace the 4 2tb drives with 2 4tb ones at least at first.

>>105769232
my server with 8 drives runs at like 17 watts idle
also don't waste your time or money with anything smaller than 20TB

>>105769272
>20TB
Do I look like I shit money?

>>105769491
anon its like a few hundred dollars, not thousands. get it together.

>>105769491
Which is more important? Your porn collection, or eating this month?

>>105769491
you are the one spending more per GB by buying smaller drives. you are literally buying the more expensive option

>>105769272
for real, i see people being like "i made a nas with a raspberry pi" and it's like, what the fuck is your usecase if you're storing that little data, i have 10TB of SSDs just in my desktop

It's been an unreasonable time

>>105765753
these are idiotic because they create negative pressure in your house drawing hot air in from the outside through cracks and shit, please never use this sort of AC

the normal poorfag window box is so much better

>>105765859
something is wrong with your pc lol, summer here 37c and my pc running hard on games and only reaches 50/60c

>>105765515 (OP)
Keep you PC inside, problem solved.

>>105765515 (OP)

>>105765753
