So as it warms up here, my pc seems to be making my room hotter than I want it to be.

Is there any way besides watercooling to somehow make the pc not heat up my room?
 
1. do you use CRT monitors? Those make a lot of heat.
2. what are your CPU temps?
3. what are your system temps?

None of that matters... the only thing you could do would be to stop overclocking if you are. Water cooling wouldn't make your room any cooler, it would just make your computer cooler. There is no way to get rid of heat, you can only move it around.
 
I have a 17inch CRT and the other one is a 19 inch LCD

Whats the best program for that anyhow?
Speedfan?
I have a fan controller, and don't know if I should turn up the intake, keep outtake low?
 
Running a CRT causes a LOT of heat. My computer still will heat my room up without my CRT, but I can tell a huge difference.

Anything to help the computer cool down more would help. Larger more efficient fans should help. My power supply tends to get rather warm too... Finding one that doesn't get so hot may help.

As for temp checking programs, PC Wizard's pretty good. It gives a lot of other info as well, but also a very thorough section for the temps...

I don't think you know what your saying.
 
fans dont have anything to do with this..

its all thermal output and/or efficiency

switching the crt to an lcd will help allot.

get a more efficient pus if you feel needed.

stop overclocking

set systems/monitors to go into standby aafter 30-40mins
(this one helps allot)

I am not overclocking. So, if I leave the secondary CRT off for a day, would I notice a difference?

I turn my monitors off when I don't use them anyways.
Also- I shut down my pc at night before I go to bed.
 
it's not possible to change to heat output your pc has by just changing the cooling hardware that plain physics what comes in has to come out. One way or another. You can only use higher effeciency equipment so the output becomes less heat and more of other stuff (electricity for example with the psu).

You can also turn of crt like they said above really helps alot. Put it in power saving mode if you dont need it. Reduce cpu, hd, and memory usage also reduces heat. Or turn of features on your mobo could reduce heat from you mobo.

I would start by checking the efficiency of your psu and comparing that to other on the market. (read a review not read it of the box) if it's below 70% you can definitely do better.

I think he does know what he's saying. You're the one who's mistaken. You room will contain the same amount of heat no matter what you do. The only thing to do is open a window, etc.
