I've experienced that; heat waves so bad that even the AC can't keep
the room cool enough to keep the PC on (especially if its CPU and GPU
are pegged running some high-end game). You just gotta turn off the
computer until temperatures become more managable (it probably helps
reduce the load on the electrical infrastructure too. ;-)

Sounds like you have air-flow issues.

It's not the ambient temp, it's all about how much heat you can get to
go away from the computer - set up one of those oscillating desktop fans
(in non oscillating mode) blowing down the side of the comp so it blows
the hot exhausted air away (and incidentally, draw more cooler air
towards the comp.)

Heat waves suck. They should be made illegal or something.

I'd be all for that, living in a non air conditioned apartment, but my
computer never even comes close to overheating, since I have lots of
airflow through the apt.

And that lack of overheating is even when I have several browser windows
open, newsreader and a couple of games running (BDO afk fishing but not
minimized and playing STO, but sometimes waiting out a timer for
something.

I also have 13 fans going moving the air through and keeping things
livable, all inclusive rent rocks!

Even when it's too goddamned hot to sleep, the computer doesn't
overheat, only me.
