Hey, I know that this is not a hardware question but I didn't know where else to put it to get responses from people who know a lot about computers. I have a gaming pc in my bedroom which is very small and always have the door shut to my room whenever I am gaming with no windows open or anything. Is this or will this cause any problems or am I just being paranoid? I sometimes game 2-3 hours on the weekends and sometimes even more. I tried googling it but nothing popperd up so I decided to try my luck here.

Whats the temperature in your room?

I am sure if you can deal with it than your pc can too.~80f-ish is like the highest I can deal with, and beyond that point I just turn the a/c.

Is it dusty or anything particular? Grab a air duster and spray it once a while.

Oh yeah I do clean the computer regularly about once a month, not dusty. I should have clarified a bit more, I was talking about the air quality in the small room with the pc running. The GPU isn't an issue it does run hot (GTX 470 SLI) but I manually set the fan speed to maintain 80-85 celsius when I run a game.

Oh, you mean safe for you? Lol, that's a new one :P Since the PC does not produce CO2 only a little heat, you'll be fine the same amount of time as if there were nothing inside that room. But if you start getting dizzy or sleepy open and close the door a couple of times to get a little air flow.

I find that if I leave the door open a little, my PC drops like 7-10*C. It certainly helps with room temperature. As of right now, I'm sitting in my room, and it's a pretty hot day here in Burbank, and the my PC temperatures barely climbed a few degrees (C), and I have my windows and door shut.

The computer should be fine but you're room will likely get uncomfortably warm if it isn't ventilated well.
