Computer cooling?

[URQ]

I have my computer in a room that stays closed all the time but the computer puts out alot of heat from the fans making my room like a oven.
and my question is.
Will a better CPU cooling system help with the temps that come out of the computer case or are the better Cooling systems only to reduce the heat on the CPU?

The heat has to go somewhere.

Better cooling is just to get the heat out of the PC and into the room.

Yes that is what I figured but will a better cooler reduce the amount of heat it puts out into the room?

To answer your question though, the PC can up the temp in a room. I've seen changes in temp up to 3 degrees.

Make sure your power saving is set to the most aggressive.
The less heat you make, the less you need to get rid of.

haha when i get in heated battles on my computer it heats my room up like a champ!!!

By battles you mean porn right.

He did say "heated" battles, and we all know that friction causes heat... :banana2:

Liquid cooling. :D

Standard air cooling works by heat conduction. Copper heatsink absorbs heat from the processor which is cooled by air that's usually blown out the back of the computer.

Another solution would be to create a duct to vent the heated air from the back of the pc into another room or outside.

Liquid cooling works the same way. The difference is that heat is carried from the cpu to the fan that blows it into the room by a liquid.

The heat doesn't just disappear because you are using a liquid. Unless you are either producing less heat or putting the heat somewhere else or storing it in the liquid... the room will still get hot.

The coolant used in liquid cooling setups are much better at absorbing heat than air. A watercooling loop works by storing the heat in the liquid as it passes through the system. The liquid is then cooled with a radiator. Traditional air cooling is pushes hot air out of the system.

So... You basically restated what I said but the question is...

Where does that radiator put the heat then?

This is simple thermodynamics. The heat has to go somewhere.

Oops, sorry about that. I completely missed your point. What I was trying to say is that liquid cooling gives you more control of where the heat goes. With traditional air cooling, it comes out in a big fart cloud of heat.
