Square to circle flange attached to the back of the PC via screws, a small fan halfway through the system, and a foam insulation board with wire mesh to make the end

Reminds me of the LTT video with the greenhouse box
No shot there’s enough airflow for that to do what you want. It’s just going to radiate from the tube into your room. I you want the hot air out, that tube needs to be a couple of feet at most.
there is a cheap 4″ booster fan at Home depot he can put in the middle to incease the airflow
Captain here: he’s pumping the hot air into his sister’s room
You really need your PC to be closer to that window. You want no bends if possible in that pipe.
Global warming intensifies
Would it not also help to have a way of pushing more cool air into the pc as well
Bro thought he cooked

[X] Doubt
Crafting skill is decent. But lacking the knowledge of how airflow and heat transfer works.
Go back to the hardware store and buy a duct booster fan of the correct size. Otherwise you won’t get enough flow
Best bet would be get a 3inch blower fan and hook on the end of this hose and have it pull air through the hose. It’ll work better. Then wrap the hose in aluminum foil to trap heat inside so it doesn’t leak into room.
i think linus did something like that a couple or few years back
Not gonna be very effective, I suggest either moving the pc closer to the window, or adding an additional (significantly larger) fan at the end of it.
kid named thermodynamics
Just put your AIO radiator outside, problem solved
Wow you put a lot of work into it don’t let the hate on it get you down
Did it improve your indoor temps though and does warm air come out the end of the tube?
you prolly got 2000-3000 invested in your gaming setup depending on your monitor, chair and game count .. spend 300 bucks on a dinky little air conditioner!
was thinking about doing something similar but then bought a large floor fan which i placed on my open window for fresh air
I live within 100 miles of like five hydroelectric dams. I run my central air non stop and I’ve never had an electric bill over $80. The shit some people have to go through.
Peasant solution, I wouldve made a hole in the wall
I’ve always wanted to do something like this for summer. You would want alot shorter tubing and a bigger extractor fan at the wall tho
I think the real question we’re all dying to know here is: How the hell are you supposed to use your desk with that big hose in the way?
What about all the heat coming out of the top lol
Even if you added the extra inline fans to make this work you would then be creating negative pressure in the house and drawing unconditioned air in from all the leaks same as those crappy single hose portable a/c units.
A for effort I guess
Mount a fan at the other end to help pull the air.
Reminds me of that dude who cooled his PC by hooking it up to his AC vent. His temps were crazy low. I don’t have the link for it sadly 😮💨
Say sike
I swear, some people will do anything except for use common sense.
Just turn on the A/C or a fan or something. It’s really not that difficult.
Raise the tube up so it isn’t taking desk space
Yeah my setup is right against my window so I have a noctua fan in a custom wood panel to vent fresh air in since my rooms insulation is extremely good at trapping heat and not cold
Redirector
Bit late for April fools mate
There is no way the exiting force is enough for this to make sense, no?
