My room is upstairs, and in the australian summer, temps up here can hit 40+ easily. The fact of the matter is (and correct me if i'm wrong), you can't cool your processor below ambient temperature using either air or water. So if it's 28.8C here in my room now (and it is), then no matter what i do i can't possibly get my CPU temp any lower than that. In fact, at the moment my CPU is at 51C idling. In summer, i really can't play games during the hottest part of the day, the system just craps out. in a high ambient temperature room, a peltier cooler may do the trick, you probably wont get below ambient but you'll get closer. |
(Unless the room is huge) Just have it set to come on during the hottest
part of the day. Keep the operator cool as well. These units are getting
very cheap in NZ now, I assume it's the same if not even cheaper in Aussie.
Either that or get a smaller version just for the CPU. Google VaopChill and
Prometeia. These little babies will probably end up costing you more than a
room AC unit though.

Yet a through-window/wall budget aircon unit is probably easier and cheaper. (Unless the room is huge) Just have it set to come on during the hottest part of the day. Keep the operator cool as well.

We can get in window AC's for under $100 USD here in NY. If they're expensive there, let me know, I'll UPS one to ya  hehehehe |
Happy new year.
