My husband and I have two gaming rigs normally on nonstop in our office which is in a room that's a pretty decent size; we both also run duel monitors. At the moment we both have your standard cpu fans for cooling no liquid cooling at all. It's time again to finally update my rig, and I find myself asking if I should take the plunge into liquid cooling. Would this actually help with cooling down our office? I would be refitting the computer myself, and I'm not experienced with any liquid cooling so I would have to go to the preset options. Are their any recommendations or remedies anyone else has found? During the winter we don't have many issues, however, during the summer living in deep south GA it tends to be a huge issue. We keep our thermostat at about 80-82 in the summer, and even with the constant ceiling fan in the office I'm sure its close to 85+ alone in the office. Thank you very much in advance!

Computers put out a set amount of heat at any given power level. The method of cooling (liquid/air) does not effect this, it only changes the speed at which the heat can be removed from the system. Therefore, your room temperature will be unchanged regardless of your cooling system.

The only solution to your problem would be to somehow remove the heat from the room via powered air-ducts. This could be fairly cheap and practical, depending on the room setup. The savings in cooling costs in the summer could go a long way in paying for the system. The hardest part would be concealing the ducts so the office still looks nice.

That's what I figured, but I wanted to double check thank you! Were not sure if we will be in this house for more than another 3 years so at the moment we aren't trying to do too much; my husbands in the military so we tend to move around a lot.
