John McMurdo Posted July 18, 2022 at 04:53 PM Posted July 18, 2022 at 04:53 PM So its currently still 31C in my flat and its just coming up to 6pm. I think simming is off the cards tonight. Even at idle my PC is running around 10C warmer than normal, and I myself feel as though I am running a lot warmer than normal. I'm sure my PC could handle the extra work in this heat, but that extra heat is only going to go and add to my already warm room. Forecast is for thunder tomorrow so that should cool things down a bit, although the humidity may actually make it worse, because the air is still quite dry at the moment.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted July 18, 2022 at 08:29 PM Board of Governors Posted July 18, 2022 at 08:29 PM Strong suggestion: Do not leave ice on the top of your case to cool down the machine. That's not the right way to do liquid cooling.... 😉😉😉 2 Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a real need for water cooling unless one is overclocking, which is another thing I have no intention of trying :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that because airconditioning is not common in some countries they have been caught short by the current conditions. Because most Australian homes have airconditioning either evaporative or refrigerated we rarely have this issue. I would love to have 31 degrees because bloody cold here in Melbourne. Getting down to 0 degrees at night with highs of about 14 degrees during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Ontario in winter it regularly hits -25C during the day, sometimes as low as -40. Now THAT's cold! 🙂 1 Alistair Thomson === Definition: a gentleman is a flying instructor in a Piper Cherokee who can change tanks without getting his face slapped.

It is rare that the temp gets that high, and Monday was the hottest it has been in a long time, the past week has been a little cooler and this weekend has been very mild, but it looks like it might start to heat up again next week, but nothing like Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted July 24, 2022 at 01:53 AM Posted July 24, 2022 at 01:53 AM I feel for you folks who are being hit with this heat wave and don't have air conditioning. I guess I've had it easy, but -- I was born in an air-conditioned room, and God willing, I'm gonna die in an air-conditioned room. 1 Cheers, -R.
