Summer gaming

What is this, a meme?

My temps only go up by about five degrees in the summer.

Air conditioning

>>378960708
Maybe not if you live in Sweden or Alaska. Gaming with ambient temperature being 35+ is hell.

>>378960771
I'm running 6700k with 1070 in R5. While not the best case for keeping things cool it should be enough since nothing is overclocked at the moment.

There is never hot here.
My PC lies among cold air.

>>378960630
>How are you fellow PC gamers handling this crazy heat?
Build proper machines: tower cases with PSU at the top (not bottom) and properly installed ventilation.
It's not hard when you're know what you're doing and my machines always worked perfectly fine even at 38C room temperature.
>Did any of you purchase AC just because playing with GPU at 75C is suffering?
75C is perfectly normal for a GPU. Upper limit is 105C.

>>378961058
>tower cases with PSU at the top (not bottom)
No, get an external PSU instead.

>>378960630
Of course I had AC installed, ambient temperature above 24C is uncomfortable trash, I'd rather not subject myself to that within my own home.

>>378961486
Think I must've slept through that, I've only seen the sun twice this week and next week's forecast looks foul.

No summer in Finland this year

>>378960837
Obviously, though some shitboxes which operate on the verge of overheating even in 20C ambient temps may indeed suffer if that goes up by 10C in the summer.

>>378960943
>Gaming with ambient temperature being 35+ is hell.
If your rig fucks up by a slight rise in ambient temperature, your shitbox is fucked. Most likely, because your case is stupid gaym0r tower with a window on the side and holes everywhere, except where they are needed.
If your PC is properly designed, a rise in ambient temperature SHOULD NOT lead to a rise in component temperature anywhere.
Also if you GPU spergs out at 75C, than most likely you GPU memory (with a thermal sensor) is overheating, because your ventilation is fucked.

What's a safe temp for an fx 8350? It gets to about 60 degrees on speedfan and the core is about 50 when I'm playing total war warhammer.

Get a job.

>>378960630
My machine is still functioning properly with games, but it's not spared by the heat, opening steam freeze my entire computer and overheat my CPU until I force steam to stop loading the market. Anything else with a lot of images to load also suffer the same fate. (including this place)

>>378962115
Arizona guy here, I have AC. But I live with other people so the lowest they'll go is like 70 degress. To which my room has like one vent that I thought was closed for the longest time, till I checked and saw that it was open, it just barely puts out air.

AC isn't a magical fix all the time, especially in a place this hot.

>>378962073
>Pic related is cpu cooler, one of the best air coolers you can buy I think.
It's just looking fancy, any top blower is better, because it actually cools the VRM.
If your machine crashes in summer, it's because MB components like these overheat, because your ventilation is fucked. Not because the CPU core temperature is too high.

>>378962115
While I do have a job and savings, quality AC + installation costs is almost 2 month avg salary here. So I'm not exactly rushing to buy something I will use for maybe 2 months in a year even though I easily can.

>>378962115
An AC is only for people too poor to live in a house with windows.

>>378962286
This but unironically. Getting a natural breeze coming through your house is a million times more refreshing than the AC.

Too bad seasonal allergies are a bastard and I probably still have a few more weeks until I can open the windows without my nose clogging and eyes inflating.

I need to leave these little notes around my pc to remind me

>>378962584
Depends on the GPU. You'd need to look up what your specific GPU is rated for max temperature wise. I'm too lazy to look up your Founder's Edition for you. I know on my old GTX 275 I'd hit up to 102C in The Last Remnant though. I believe it was rated up to 105C, so I wasn't really worried, though I was impressed.

GPU is underpowered for a gaming machine. Save another $100-150, there is a "sweet spot" for performance per $ with GPUs and the 1050ti is below that sweet spot.

I agree that a nice breeze is much more pleasant than an AC unit for air quality but if you're actually trying to cool down a room/house you're not going to beat AC

no, the only problem is thermodynamics. while a properly cooled pc shouldn't be affected that much by 5-10 degrees change in ambient temperature, the heat that your pc produces is highly undesirable in summer months.
