How are your PCs holding up with the temperatures?
Currently 18°C in Nottingham and my CPU is at 70°C. It's starting to shake violently when I load a game up.
13°C outside and hardware is at low 30's
GTX 960 (not overclocked) at 30°C, Phenom II X6 1055T at 40°C (got a Zalman cooler). When playing games the GPU goes up to maybe 60°C max as does the CPU. Currently 20°C outside, but even if it's 30°C out and I'm sweating my balls off, my PC isn't affected too much, maybe just a few degrees more.
Why are Nvidia cards so fucking hot? I miss my old AMD card.
CPU at 31 C, GPU at 46 C, currently 88 F outside, but 76 inside. Just took my case apart for the monthly clean, and ordered a new GPU. Mine is almost 5 years old, and even with buying games a year or two after release I'm starting to experience really noticeable performance issues.

This is >>345367483 here, I just recently switched to nvidia, because my old sapphire radeon hd6970 was at 60°C when idling and went up to 100°C while playing, unless I manually set the fan to "Boeing 747" noise levels to keep it below 85-90°C. I guess it really depends on the card and the manufacturer.

20°C outside, CPU at a reasonable 40°C
GPU at 48°C but its a sapphire 390 so the fans aint spinning

I play old games, watch streams and fap during summer.

You must be thinking gtx780 or older since the 9xx and 1xxx series are pretty cool.

In America we have air conditioning. Sometimes I have to wrap myself in a blanket because it's too cold.
So far this July hasn't been as miserable as previous years
What's a good way to go about keeping low temps? My new 390 hits nearly 70C on a normal day under load.

Protip: Try to fap standing up in the summer when it's hot outside. a) it's a good exersize if you usually just fap while sitting (doin' it in a single position all the time is actually bad for your virility, because you're conditioning your body in a bad way) and b) you don't sweat so much from your bum and have to sit on a wet chair afterwards.

When was the last time you did a deep clean? I do a general dusting every month, every 3 months I take everything apart and do a deep clean. I also have cats, so I have to be careful about the shed fur going everywhere.

Only in older homes and pre-builts. Thanks to advances in tyvek wrap and ridge vents, sick house syndrome is almost a thing of the past.
