Gaming PC builds come in all different shapes and sizes, either targeting improved airflow and temperatures or prioritizing desktop space — but this one takes the cake.
As reported by VideoCardz, a modder known as Soda Baka on Bilibili, has built a gaming PC the size of a room, with gigantic fans, a large GPU, CPU, and an AIO cooler. These are accompanied by an air conditioning unit to help control room temperatures and a literal 12,000W sauna with added water to help simulate the heat of a regular-sized gaming PC.
It’s worth noting that the RAM sticks in this build are only props, and that’s no surprise, since the estimated capacity based on their scale is 18,000GB of RAM each. That would already cost a fortune on its own, but we’re in the middle of a RAM crisis, so I couldn’t even imagine how costly each RAM stick would be.
Baka’s project is easily one of the most ludicrous PC building projects out there, and has almost no real-world use case, as I struggle to imagine anybody has the resources readily available — or better yet, any reason to build a platform like this, but it’s great for aesthetics.
It’s quite an amusing solution to summer heat (minus the sauna), with a significant amount of room for a gaming PC’s operation and the addition of an air conditioning unit.
However, in a more practical and reasonable use case to help keep temperatures cool, it’s best to simply invest in an AIO water cooler for the CPU, and look toward undervolting the GPU where possible. I’ve done exactly that with my main gaming PC build, and temperatures for both my RTX 4080 Super and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D — and both max out at 65 degrees Celsius.
That’s easily achievable, without building a room-sized gaming PC, but again, it is a perfect themed environment for any gamer.
