Summer time - how does your PC cooling solution perform?

[smatovic]

As the title says, it is summer time in the northern sphere, so can you still run your gear
under full load with temperatures >30°C? Wonder how dual GPU setups are doing...

My cooling solution is working very well.

2950x with a 4.225 Ghz all core overclock is staying under 68c under full load, with a RTX 2080 ti under full load.
RTX 2080 ti highest temp today was 69c under full load.
Motherboard temp is 42c
Highest temp on my 8 dimms 59.3c

Cooling Solution on my system.

6 120mm fans
280 mm Enermax AIO rated at 500+ watts.
Lian Li 011 dynamic case.

I have six computer systems, one of them a 128-core (4x32) server. The big server is in the basement where temps tend to be less than the upper part of the house. I have a shop fan/filter system down there but I don't run it all the time. It is staying cool enough to run 24x7 at full load, although it is not an optimal setup: neither as cool nor as dust free as a proper datacenter.

I am right now getting bids for a roof solar system. My electric bills are very high. It's not just the computers but the AC and other appliances.

I live in Rio de Janeiro where heat is the rule not the exception. As such my cooling solution is air-conditioning, with the only difference being it runs more than in rooms where there is no dual-GPU machine at load 24/7.

For me, it is not cooling the computers that is the problem. It's cooling my house. It never gets above 100 degrees Fahrenheit here, but my air conditioning can't handle the 10 KW of heat my computers generate in the summer. My son Bronze does HVAC, so I might have him put in a huge chiller for my house.

[Graham Banks]

My old dual Xeon octal has been running at around 80 degrees celsius 24/7 for around 8 years so far.

[smatovic]

Ah, I did not thought about people using AC in their houses, I know them only from data-centers.

My i7-9700K is running 6 concurrents games all day long, and weather in France is crazy hot this week, but my dark rock pro 4 is cooling the cpu well, I never got above 80°C...

[konsolas]

My i5 8400 running 5 concurrent games is running at around 70 C, but the situation in the UK is nowhere as crazy as the rest of europe at the moment.
