How many of you underclock during the summer?

Switched my q6600 over to watercooling with a slight overclock since I don't have the AC blasting and it makes the room hot.

no underclocking done here. i'm in la so it's summertime all the time. and by no underclocking of course i mean no more than normal =]

Having my room air conditioned doesn't really effect my temps during the summer. My Antec 900 leaves my pc nice and cool even without the a/c.

I don't need to, my cooler does a great job being that it's a tower of aluminum and copper that could kill someone if it fell on their head from a few feet.

How many of you guys have to reduce clock speed because of summer heat? Any temporary solutions?

Yeah.. My Macbook Air would crash crash crash if I was outside, needed to take it from 1.6 to 1.0 to gain stability.

configure your mobo (if it has the option) for dynamic fan control and use efficient fans (i like arctic cooling heaps, moves air well and very silent). with dynamic fan control, it controls the fan speed in relation to cpu temp. my overclocked pc is silent when pottering on the web but lets me know when its sweating as all 5 fans then slowly ramp up to kkep temps nominal. when running at full, its a space heater..
