<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.adpmods.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=371&cat=&page=">This</a>. You guys remember when I explained the ducting mod I was gonna do in the winter? Well if not I'm explin it again, I was gonna run a duct going from my window into my computer, and it I was hoping I could get a system temp under 0C, well now I can get the cold air to go directly to my cpu, with that ducting thing<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">.
dont forget about condensation <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I shouldnt be a problem, winter air really shouldn't have any moisture in it, espically when its like -20C and water freezes at 0C.

Condensation shouldn't be a problem. Winter air is extremely dry. Make sure you really keep an eye on it when you first start running it that way.

Ok, I got the duct that goes from the back of my case to the cpu all set up. It droped my cpu temp from 33C to 24C.

If all else fails use a carpet dryer to cool your PC<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
winter air wont be a problem ... but the air in the house will be.

<br><br><< <i>winter air wont be a problem ... but the air in the house will be.</i> >><br><br> As long as this system is kept away from bathrooms, and kitchens, and your house doesn't have humidified central air, you'll be fine. It's nice to see such low temps. Whey I got my 3DMark score over 20k, I had a system temp of 16C.

I think we have a dehumidfyer, but the air is kinda humid in this house.

Did anybody else read about the similar duct thing that lead into the wall? It was supposed to lower temps and be incredibly quiet but it just heated up the computer more lol
