y2h1987 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi everyone, i have a pc running 3 monitors in my room and it is heating up my room real bad, so to solve the heat problem i would want to shift the whole CPU out to the living room instead while the monitor would remain in my room. however the living room is a good 15m away from my room with multiple obstacles (other rooms) that i have to bypass in order to reach my room since mine is in the middle which makes cabling very complicated and ugly aesthetics . Hence i am trying to find the most cost effective way to do this, i know there are VGA via Wifi out there, but one cost like 130$ USD for 1 monitor , while i have 3 which would cost me close to 400$USD. i was thinking CPU -> VGA to LAN -> Router -> Power Line -> Router (second router) -> VGA to LAN -> Monitor . any oneknows whether this would work?

The Evil Overlord Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 First, welcome to the forum Second, I'm not sure it's the pc alone generating the heat, I have a triple screen set up, 2 22 inch and a centered 23 inch, all 1080, and I haven't noticed any real difference in the heat coming out of my pc case due to this... The screens get hot if used for a long time. For your scenario, I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer your query, but specialised equipment exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2h1987 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi Aheer, it is definitely the pc that is generating the most heat as i have isolated it into a cupboard with a hosing duct to suck the hot air away from my room however the cupboard itself recently is heating up as well which makes it a huge heat radiator. the air temperature inside the cupboard is running about 40 degree celsius. while the air in the roo is running between 32 to 33 degree celsius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fahim S. MVC Posted November 23, 2014 MVC Share Posted November 23, 2014 What's in your computer that is generating so much heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2h1987 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Fahim, my Pc specs are, Intel Core i7 CPU 920 2.67GHz (8CPUs) 16gb Ram GEFORCE GTX 560 Ti GEFORCE 8600 GT i think most of the heat comes from the graphic cards as they are loaded with 2 monitors each ,only 3 active the other 1 is to the TV regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted November 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2014 What are your CPU temps? it shouldn't be that hot. Did you clean your case recently? Could be dust build-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.ed Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ok. While everybody's hung up in your abnormal PC temperatures, I'm actually going to answer your question. That particular solution won't work. Powerline is made for data packets that travel through Ethernet. VGA through Ethernet requires the wired connection. Even wireless video would pick up interference with 15 meters in between with walls. My suggestion would be to check your current PC hardware, as something's really off if you're experiencing those temps. Maybe invest in water-cooling?

vcfan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 a more simple conversion if your monitors support dvi video card dvi->dvi-hdmi adapter->hdmi transmitter----->hdmi receiver->hdmi-dvi adapter->monitor but im afraid it will cost the same as your vga solution(if it even works).
