time for suicide runs at 1095. Just make sure you have some kind of spot cooler.

I have that, it's not good enough for what you're trying to accomplish. You need something that will push refrigerated air.

I have a 24in box fan but it isn't affective as it sounds. I'll have to look for something better. I took out my air comdition already but rat can be put back up.

Would it be better just sitting in front of the fridge with the door open, and the notebook 1/3 way in? Wear some warm clothing though


cheers ...

yes it would work on a freezer. Since it's only like 6min. I don't have to worry about condisation. I will overvolt and do it tonight when I get home from school. But I can only do stock gpu runs with how hot it is in this school.

Actually if you have a fridge with a bottom freezer that pulls out with shelves in it would work (being serious). Over the summer I used my central air in my house for additional cooling. Put my Cryo cooler right on top of a vent and it was pushing the cold air very nicely. My system got nice and frosty.

I have a second fridge in our basement that has the bottom freezer. I may have to go that route since the wife won't let me turn the air on in the middle of November.

Finding a small room AC that has a flat top and blows from the top would be ideal.

Scene 2 w/Dual-Core is 156.62, w/Quad-Core is 139.83. Something then is wrong if this is correct.
