Nate Bartram on Nostr: Question for the hardware experts: my wife has a mid-range gaming desktop PC ...
Question for the hardware experts: my wife has a mid-range gaming desktop PC ($1300ish a couple years ago). Today we discovered that when she turns it on, it NOTICEABLY heats up the whole apartment. By several degrees. We live in Texas. Short of extreme scenarios like not playing video games all summer or buying a new rig, is there ANY way to reduce or control the heat on that thing so we don't roast the entire damn home?
