Air Cooling / Water Cooling for Desktops

Hi,

So I have a Dell T7910 with a high spec on hard flors - it produces quite a lot of heat out of the back, which ends up heating up my entire room.

I am wondering what my options are in terms of cooling it down so that it does not have such an effect.

Any ideas here on what is best to do in terms of things to buy?

Thanks!

 

Can you list out its specs? Next a few pictures of the inside would also help.. Getting an AIO CPU cooler would be a start to reduce some of the heat...

A Cooler upgrade will do nothing about the heat being dumped into the room.

The best solution is to underclock the system to reduce the power consumption.

 

How would one go about underclocking? In Bios correct?

 

I think you can use a air cooler to cool the machine.

 

My goal is to somehow stop it boosting the temperature of the overall room - there is already air conditioning in the room but this causes it to have to be on a lot stronger all of the time.

 

Too many models to know which one you have your going to have to provide more exact specs to figure what is happening. Water cooling and Air Cooling will still heat your room because heat is heat. You need to see what is causing the thermal overload and where it is coming from then you can figure out what needs to be done. Mine system did that too but cleaning the fan/vents and reapplying thermal paste will help to reduce thermal loads as well. So there are some things that must be first done to know what is happening before any solutions can be applied.

This is the best solution undervolt or lower your Ghz assuming Dell lets you to reduce thermal load and heating your room. Also the size of your room and air ventilation makes a difference if there isn't enough air flow it will heat the air in the room and that will heat itself starting a chain reaction. The more larger the room and better airflow the less it will heat the room thus reducing thermal runaway effect. @Nickje-Your A/C can only do so much in a small room unless it is pointed directly at the main board and internals that will chill the system done-but I know that will be next to impossible to do. If your case doesn't have enough ventilation from front to back or top this will also increase the internal temp as well since Air Flow can't move and that is where you get thermal overload and runaway temp with the only place it can go is into the case and then it escapes and heats your room. I've learned the more air flow you can get in and out the better the system stays cooler and runs better eventually the heat your getting will cause hardware problems in the future as components age. Heat and Age are electronics hardware worst enemies.

 

Yes, but sorry I meant undervolting not underclocking, but seeing that you have a Dell I doubt that there is an option to do it in the BIOS.

 

You can always do that with Throttlestop hopefully... Or XTU

So what can I do underclocking wise? The options in bios are somewhat limited but I made my fan +50% by default (noisy though) but there's not really any options to underclock the system. Any ideas?

 

Any thing coming from the likes of HP or Dell will not let you custom change Ghz or under-volts like a custom motherboard. That is the limit of manufacture boards unless it is a customized gaming board. If they don't give you neither options then you don't have much choice what you can do here.
