I hear ya. I have a very hot bedroom with my computer with me and I noticed extra zits too. I thought it was stress.

You may want to get a modded case for your hardware with extra fans. It should bring down the heat.

its just a thought, but cooling your processor/case more won't cool your room at all. It will actually make your room hotter. Try opening a window :P

I thought u (and mobboss1) were saying your room was hot because u had your computer in there and that because of this heat u were getting zits. Everyone had ideas on how to cool your computer better(ie cool it more or quieter). Obviously the quieter cooling solves one of your problems, but wasn't the heat problem the spots? Hence my comment that cooling your computer would make ur situation worse as it would raise the temperature of your room.

edit: Also cooling your room would make the amount of cooling you need to provide to your computer lower.

Compare it with a refrigerator: inside it it's cold, but it produces a lot of heat at the outside (ie at the back of it), thus warming up the kitchen.

Yeah, I must have mispoke on the cooling of the computer. I aggree, with the more pc fans you have, the hotter the room will get, especially with the fans blowing the hot air out.

I am just dying to mod my computer though. God it's hot in this room. :D
