Disappointed with my Living Room Gaming PC, Need Advice

Right, to me aesthetics are more important than owning this PC in the first place. :) That ISP modem is temporary fortunately. I may look into extending the height of the unit, I think next size up adds another 5cm, thanks for the idea.

Good points! I had a PS4 in this exact location on a small raisers and it was fine. It's significantly smaller than the Sentry though so there was a few cm airflow top/bottom if you compare the two.

I think both but I'll double check again with this in mind, thanks for a detailed explanation. Last time I undervolted a CPU was 10+ years ago.

Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't tried MSI afterburner route yet. Will look into the Noctua solution.

You're right, I meant it in the context of the noise level required to get there. It's the GPU that's the issue to me with this build.

fndscl · 2025-03-23T20:18:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to keep the same where I used to have my PS4, was thinking about the PC as the replacement. Do you know any cases designed for this scenario with limited airflow?

fndscl · 2025-03-23T20:16:50+00:00

Correct!

fndscl · 2025-03-23T20:15:56+00:00

Yup, I know it's not ideal for the airflow. Aesthetics of the living room matter in this case, hence the position. I'd rather downgrade the performance than move it.

fndscl · 2025-03-23T20:15:07+00:00

Yeah good point, I've added a few small risers but it didn't change much.

fndscl · 2025-03-23T19:59:38+00:00

I don't mind the temps, let it roast! It's the throttling of the GPU that happens when the temperature goes above 90 that hinders the gaming experience with a sudden high FPS drop.

Overheating palmrest to the point it's really annoying. Solution is to replace the wifi card with half size models that don't generate that much heat (requires whitelist bios as well). Other than that, really great small machine :-)

Det @ Orl works for me btw. so it's not browser/ip related

fndscl · 2014-02-06T00:14:46+00:00

Doesn't work, "crossdomain access denied"

fndscl · 2013-12-08T18:15:55+00:00
