Intel cpu ehh?

@@viperpit-lr2rphey I resemble that comment 😂

Running an old time Pentium 4? lol

I live in northern US and i use a space heater in every room in my home except my bedroom that has my pc works great

I live in the Midwest and my house isn't well insulated. I need some 14000ks and 4090s to heat my home. Any takers?

NE BC here. Winter is 9+ months, then it's forest fire season for the rest of the year. So keeping things cool when it's 40c+ outside and 45-50c indoors is a pain.

If you can afford it, run world community grid on headless decent core count CPUs instead. That's what I've been doing for decades. That way you can heat your home and help advance humanitarian scientific endeavors, like cancer research, finding new drug therapies, etc.

The sadder part is that you have justin 12 months a year.

Thank you for your service!

This video is too long. 13 min in and still no info on how to fix the issue. I just stopped watching

thanks bro. had it on two times speed and he hadnt given one tip yet Lol.

Haha yeah. They aren't able to increase efficiency or they are trying to yo hold out on it so have more products they can produce since we are starting to reach the end of mores law.

So true, I hate when people say "if you can afford a 4090 you can afford the electricity" - that's not the problem! It's 450w+ of heat

@@flynn6531 Isn't that the same reason why reviewers used to complain about S.L.I? Just to show you how good S.L.I is/was when supported properly even on mGPU. in Deus Ex Mankind Divided I have RTX 2080ti's in S.L.I & I can match a RTX 4090 in 4K, & before you ask about stuttering, No, it does not stutter either. it's pretty much exactly the same fps. Personally, I find it funny that a lot of games are still stuttering on single card just as much even without the use of multi-card setups. Nothing changed by going to single GPU, just the prices really.

Blame the consumers. They kept buying into the trend and that signaled manufacturers that people will deal with whatever heat issues their components might have as long as they can deliver the miniscule performance figures people can only notice by measuring them. If the trend continues, custom water cooling loops will become mandatory for high and enthusiast hardware. "Oh, if a server CPU can idle at 500W, so can your consumer grade CPUs."

You need to blame physics.

Yeah I just put a really nice window a/c unit in my room, half the vents point towards the computer, the rest towards me, and it stays pretty comfy. Of course my computer only produces maybe a max of 700w of heat under full load. It helps on those hot Alabama summer days.

@@jtjones4727 ​​⁠That’s perfect, I almost did a window air conditioner as well. I live in Texas, so I needed something to cool the room. On top of that, I was able to remove the ceiling fan and put pulleys on the ceiling for my VR headset cable.

That's a good plan... Cool my PC that takes 1KW of power with an air conditioner that requires 2KW of power. Nothing inefficient there!

@@michaelstanley5215 That’s not true, mini split systems typically use anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts. Mine runs at around 800 average.

​@Night360 it depends on the design and rated power. Typically a 1ton (3.5kw) of cooling requires about 1.2 kw of power at full load. However, remember the cooling is on top of the power you are already spending to power your computer and peripherals. To keep a room with you and your computer cool, you could easily be using half a ton of capacity.

I just finished watching that as this was being published, found it to be amusing timing

Coming here straight from that lol

😮

Pretty sure Alpha cool has supplied more.than EK has

I was thinking I wonder how Jay is going to address the whole EK situation. It's not like he has anything to do with it, I am just curious what he thinks about all of this since he's been using them forever.

name of u AC unit?

@@intermilan9731 It's a Honeywell. You can buy them at stores like Home Depot, Lowes, and even Amazon. They're about $400-$600 for a big enough one to help. It's basically a window unit, except it doesn't stick out the window, which my HOA wouldn't allow :) It does exhaust out the window with a slick little attachment that fits in your window sill. (But you definitely have to have a window available, or it will just blow the hot air back into the room.)

I had considered that route, I live in a HOA so, no window unit or wall units that could be seen by a neighbor even though I am on a cul de sac and have not right be me house smh.. Any how, how do you plumb the drain and where do you remove the heat from the unit?

​@@killer01ws6 We used a big 10K BTU Hisense "portable" unit for a year when our central unit quit. While we never had to drain ours I cannot say every single unit is like that. Especially older ones. They're always going to have a small tank to hold the condensate and a plug on the back to drain it if needed. As for removing the heat most units use some of the inside air to cool the condenser or hot side and dump it outside using a hose and a nearby window. These are less efficient though the loss is lower than you'd expect. A few are dual hose units meaning they use air from outside to cool the condenser much like a window unit. If you wanted to get creative you could dump the waste heat to an attic or a crawlspace if you're on a foundation. But they all have window kits from what I've seen. In any event you should consider insulating the hose coming off the hot side with the same stuff they use on duct work. Makes a big difference

Lol... I have the same setup. Im in Georgia and man it gets extremely hot in my office while gaming.

Imma guess that what he meant was plaster walls. Older homes and apartments in CA were built with plaster and the walls are so solid you would think it is concrete.

@@davidilie3795 Dunno...he mentions the studio floor being "cold". That's because it's in contact with cold ground and the R-Value is so low that cold just goes right through the concrete. It's why you need insulation down under a radiant floor slab. Been looking into those for my retirement shop where I live. Know a couple that have them, and one was told "BAH, you don't need no stinking insulation". Yea...he can't even run his radiant heat because it just won't work". :(

So, burry your radiator in the soil outside?

@@georgebenson3826 LOL....That's a great idea for Jay to try out. LOL...Actually Linus kind of did something like this...the "Whole House Water Cooler" where they plumbed all the machines to a massive radiator to the outside. If memory serves, it really didn't do as well as they hoped.

@@georgebenson3826 Check out geothermal heat pumps. People bury long coils of water tubing and use that as the radiator for their AC units.

I do about the same. I have an external radiator (MoRa) and in spring and autumn when it's comfortable 20-25C outside but PC will bring room temperature up to 28-30C - I just open balcony, place radiator near it and face exhaust outside. And in the winter I can place whole radiator outside to cool down water for fun and 3dmark runs with 25C average with 4090. But it doesn't work in summer because it is 35C outside, so neither I can open door/window to exhaust hot air outside nor I can place radiator outside. So AC is the only answer.

Just make a more aesthetic version of it :) It really is the best thing to do with thermal waste in warm weather.

Your solution is basically a 2nd PC in a different room, lol. Hard drive heat output, while not zero, is pretty negligible compared to a CPU and GPU that have fans or radiators literally blowing heat out like a space heater.

@@Jeff-66 Nope, not basically a second pc in the other room. A NAS does not act like a second computer even though is functionally is. It makes a load of noise for starters.....and when you actually have to manage the heat in your room....the fact is, the mkte heat sources you can remove is improving it. 4 HDD's at idle add heat and the moment you ask one to spin up, it is adding to the cumulated heat.....not the isolated heat. I do agree the bulk of the heat comes from the CPU and the GPU but I had my four HDD's right behind the intake fan at the front of the chassis so although they were actually kept cool.....it's still causing Luke warm air to be the baseline for the rest of the case. Why don't you make a video and show how removing 4 HDD's from a rig is only minimal as you claim. It made a significant difference for me, especially when 3/4 are spun up and in use.

@@Jeff-66 When you have enough of them it can add up. Especially with older or performance oriented drives

why is your room hotter because the cooler is transferring the heat into the rooms air faster then before plain and simple making it more of a sauna and if it's cooler it will turbo more often and thus make more heat then before plain and simple

Bro you're about to get even more snow 💀

@@JetFuelSE We sure did! Spring got denied lol

Torille!

@@MSLcorp Jos toi lumisade loppus, tais onneks vihdoin loppua

How do you not have air conditioning or even a good case with a lot of good fans in it?

​​@@ZackSNetworkgood case and fans doesn't help cooling down the room.. it makes it warmer because it is dissipating heat more efficiently...

​@@ZackSNetwork we don't need air conditioning in Scotland. When we say it's getting hotter it's above 0 deg C. Right now it's 6 deg C and about 13-14 at its hottest, it's shorts at T shirt weather now 😅

Playing helldivers my 4090 was going mental, and the heat in the room got crazy. Ended up limiting my fps to 144 just to bring the heat down. Come winter I will get the fps pumping again to keep me warm Hahaha bring on 6 months of rain till winter

@@onitable yup, and anything at or beyond 27 degrees is 7th circle of hell...

I also have an external radiator and I'm contemplating putting it in the next room and drilling through the wall to run tubing.

How does that work for you? Also do you ever reach freezing temps outside?

It worked well (it was my 3080, I upgraded since and my new gpu is aircooled). It was during the mining trend, so I left my computer on and mining 24/7 (except when I played games). So the water was always heated, even when the outside temps were below 0°C. I never had problems, my memory was ~50°C while mining, the gpu was ~45°C when paying games.​@@TheTimothydragon

@@TheTimothydragon If the temps outside drop below ambient in the room with the computer you'll run into the potential for condensation to form, which is why water chillers for PCs aren't really a thing. I've thought about this as well but it gets too cold outside.

@@tmoore121 What if you always idle it would that change anything?

I legitimately don't think I can live where you live.

I feel you bro. Since you mentioned humidity at night I had to check in my area and damn its 94% at 31C no wonder it feels sticky as heck when sweating.

I feel you. The humidity is so high that my sweat doesn't even cool me anymore. So fucking lame.

That's basically water cooled already

​@@stickfigureman3DI can, cuz im feeling a heatwave in my country rn, so it feels like its 40 fucking c.

Here in Florida, it costs $300-600 to have an HVAC park their truck in your driveway.

I still do, Folding at Home during the winter works well.

For many years, I have caught myself thinking "Gees it's really chilly... I'd better do some gaming".

@@kathrynck Same. Colder times are a great time to play more demanding games.

@@kathrynck well the reality is at the time my house had really lousy heating so any port in a storm back then

@@noidont8149 Well, I've "enough" heat, overall. But the furnace ducts play havoc with my allergies. So I try to get by on the bare minimum. Single story though, that floor gets COLD ;)

Our normal hot temps here in OC have thankfully so far been delayed. In the meantime, I'm having an A/C return added to my home office directly over my PC for when it does hit.

Try here in Houston Tx! Breathing through a hot wet sock ever since february.

@@bme7491 yep plan on installing one too

@@kirvu9677 It was pretty nice eary feb when it was like 17 degrees tho lol

Was just gonna make a similar comment then I saw yours and I say YES

staying in a tropical country i can confirm this ...

How tf do u spend money on a computer but not shelter? Its gotta be weird that u cant afford ac or fans but somehow have a "high end" gaming rig....which is all contigent on taste anyway.

@@conm9891 some tropical countries don't have the infrastructure to provide high power demands such as central air, etc. The user may have an otherwise decent shelter, but the community doesn't have the infrastructure for extra perks like central air.

Good time to utilize framerate caps. Maybe 90fps, 120fps etc.

I hear you, unfortunately the only answer is to move that hot air out into a cooler area. You just have to get creative with how you do that. Moving heat away from the room is always going to work better than trying to bring cool air in. If you have a window in that room, consider just getting a small window AC, which does just that. It evacuates heat energy from the room and returns cold air.

Only recommendation I can give is even if you have the budget to get a RTX 4090 and 14900k, don't. There are very few games that will benefit from that much raw horsepower, so the majority you'll play will just be wasting power. And in that same thinking, turn on frame limits. If your TV or monitor is only 144hz, limit the game to 144fps. If you leave frame rate unlimited, then your PC or console will be going as hard as it can to make 300 or 400 or however many fps it can at max power, but you'll only be seeing 144fps. If you cap it in the game settings, then the PC will throttle back to only make 144 fps, which lowers how many watts of power it uses and puts out as heat.

Install a cold air return above your door

I wouldn’t call running your P.C. in the winter “free heat” since a gaming P.C. uses a lot of electricity.

I live in Florida and my solution was to put my PC in the storage room, on the other side of the wall I sit next to. I made a small hole in the wall for the cables. Then I took off the side panels for the PC and put a 24 inch box fan next to it. Even with the AC vents closed in that room it runs at perfectly acceptable temps.

​@Mr.Morden omfg😂 I live in south central Florida and I almost did some very similar. I ended up getting a flexible duct with an in line fan to pull the exhaust up to the HVAC heat return vent.

@@Mr.Morden I posted a similar solution, I used optical cables routed through the attic. Here in TX it gets unbareable during the summer but now I have one hot room in the house while I'm fine. Also no loss in performance with one room at 80F, running 13900KS & 4090.

You can "pump those numbers" and get MoRa. Bonus points: with MoRa you don't need any space for radiators and pumps inside the case (especially with dual d5 module for mora) and you can get quite compact case.

Love this idea man cheers heaps pretty cold here near Canberra haha

Handbrake + Cyber Punk 2077 at max settings at the same time.

Thx for the question & tip helping with the question 😅

Mini split hvac for that room. Will save you money in the long run.

Texas gang gang. I'm going to undervolt My cpu this summer once texas heat kicks in

back when I did construction it was always nice to lay on a monolithic pad a few days after the pour, used it to warm up in the morning while waiting for the day to start

I think I've heard of some fire or something like that happened on a construction site because they poured to much concrete and didn't account for heat whatsoever. Probably it was a tunnel...

That can cause problems too, since you're creating negative pressure and will cause more warm air from outside to leak into your home. This is why most portable air conditioners suck

I used to think that having a vent directly from pc to a window will fix any heating issues. I then found out that due to how insualtion, pressure and airflow works, I was pretty much creating access for heat to easily exchange into my already well insulated home. Not to mention the humidity and dust that will flow back to the pc regardless of fans Don't make my mistake and just simply turn on the fan mode on your centralized ac instead. U can get a window unit if you really want to simply focus on cooling your room but that's ultimately a little less efficient and a lot louder.

@@partycatplays Yes definitely. Please Imagine all the dust coming inside the bedroom with the window open (depending on where you live). I guess if you want a computer that doesn't overheat you have to search components that dont use so much power. Basically avoiding high end intel cpus and high end amd gpu. Gotta find a middle balance. Sure undervolting is a choice but im sure everyone loves to have everything out of the box. I fixed my overheating problem by buying a Cougar Airface tower case, which has its front intake fans very close to all the components. meaning you're not really exhausting hot air, because you're not giving your components a chance to get hot in the first place... max temps are 65 and 63 on gpu and motherboard while gaming. 71 and 72 at artificial stress test. PS. Silent Wings 4 High speed are the best fans in the world

Easy way for people to see your pc and pull it right out the window and drive off or get robbed tho

@@ianpogi256 bold of you to assume everyone has centralized ac

Last year he stopped his collaboration with Asus. Now I think he will stop his collaboration with EK. But fortunately there are many other companies, I don't think it will be a problem for Jayz.

​@@simoSLJ89 to be fair Jayz never disclosed most of what his 99 problems were, so this could well be one of them.

What has ek done?

@@pippifpv You might want to watch Nexus gamer

​@@pippifpvthey're not paying their bills, including salaries. Gamers Nexus put out a video about it today. Steve was **not** happy. They even had to mute a word.

That does not sound funny.

Same. I have a bunch of fans, but all they do is blow the same hot air onto my face, so it's kinda pointless. Hopefully I can get an AC unit soon, that will solve the heat issue.

@@Jeff-66 it's not funny to experience but it's funny when we talk about it
