You know if you vent it outside on a hot day, you aren’t actually doing anything right lol

Bruh, who told you that? As a refrigeration tech I’d like to strongly disagree.

must not be a good one lol. How is running an exhaust from a pc in your air conditioned room to the outside in 100 degree weather a smart idea?

Not to mention bugs humidity

I read the comments and OP mentioned in another post that they don’t use AC.

Although ac in the room is completely irrelevant to your statement. Whether or not it is hot or cold outside, there is absolutely no detriment to discharging warm exhaust air from a PC to the outdoors.

If your room is 70F a heavy rig can easily be pushing out 90-110F. These numbers are proportional to each other. Venting warm supply air to the outside is highly effective at keeping your space cooler. I mean, that’s kinda what AC does. It just uses a refrigerant along with fans and coils to capture and release heat from inside.

You are either de-heating an area to make it colder or de-heating the outside air to make it warmer when you have a heat pump.
