In the summer, my room is heating up to unbearable temperatures due to my PC's high outputting components.
I cannot run an AC in my room. And I know I can run some fans but...
I think I am ready to attack the source instead of working around it.
I will still have this PC for certain tasks, but I'm looking to build another, cooler PC. I want to play some games on it (nothing crazy like Crysis 2, though. Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 when it comes out, older infinity engine games), and use Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/Premiere CS5.
Unfortunately, I'm not finding a "Heats your room up like crazy" spec on Newegg for any item. So how does one figure out what will output a lot of heat? I'm pretty sure my GTX 285, and my 750 watt PSU are the 2 biggest culprits here. How do I make sure that what I buy next will be suitable?
Again, I know I can buy lower power items, but I'm looking to balance performance to heat output here. I don't simply want a lesser performing item. I want the "best" low heat items I can find.
I would like to spend next summer happily using my PC instead of sweating like a hog. So how would you go about this if you were me?
I am right now looking to just build a new PC. Please don't tell me to run an AC or put a fan in my window.
Again, I'm looking to attack the source, not work around it.
