Sorry BIG picture. :/

SO, it's 19:30 where I leave, and my room feels like an oven.

I've just taken a VERY cold shower to cool down, and I'm to scared to launch Elite for a spin. I have a good cooling system, but you never know.

Sometimes I wish we had some kind of heat sinks for our bodies.

So commanders, I know some of you play shirtless, but otherwise...

How do you cope with the heat ?

Where are you? I'm in Brisbane, Australia and regularly tops 35C here in summer, sometimes 40C+. For us 30 is a nice day. :)

I use an oscillating desk fan when things get toasty.

I point it between me and the PC, and usually just sit around in shorts. Lol

Keep a an ice cold water spritzer with a most setting nearby and mist yourself. But obviously not your PC. :p

Close your curtains too, keeps the sun and thus the heat out.

A simple window AC unit should do the trick. Also, better PC cooling will not lower room temperature due to the cooling systems just taking heat from the PC and exhausting it to the room. Unless you direct all air from your PC to another room or outside, it will kick the heat into the room.

Seriously... 30C isn't going to bother your computer unless you've SERIOUSLY overclocked it... in which case you really should have water cooling. Even if it DID overheat, do they even make motherboards without heat sensors these days? Lived in Aust all my life, never stopped gaming in the summer, and never had a problem. You'll be fine.

Something to cool you down quite quickly is this trick. Start a cold tap running, and then hold your wrist under the tap for 10 minutes (aiming for the pulse point near the thumb). If you have got the right point you will feel cold moving up your arm, as you cool down the blood where it is close to the surface.

This is the quickest way to cool the body .... I've used it a few times myself and it saves you from heat stress. (I live in Florida and rarely resort to air con .... just ceiling fans to move the air ... your body perspiration usually does the rest .... and the computer, an HP Omen laptop, never notices the heat.)
