Why don't they make refrigerated PC cases yet /g/?
Those new fridges don't create any condensation.
Let's say I use SSDs instead of HDDs, my CPU and cards are watercooled, no airflow, which means no dust, nothing.
The temperature inside the case would never go over 8°C.
Wouldn't that be the perfect cooling system?

If you go extreme, you go LN2.

Normal watercooling is good enough for anything else.

Shit. Only read the first sentence.
I just know watercooling uses the same tech as a fridge.
I think fridges have chemicals that would be dangerous for timmy's $2,000 league of legends gaming rig.

Refridgerators can't cool things that generate heat.

In air cooling the radiator is placed directly on top of the CPU head spreader, usually through metal pipes or some other metal medium.

In water cooling, a water loop separates the radiator from the CPU heat spreader. The water in this loop moves through a series of tubes between the radiator and a metal block on top of the heat spreader, taking the heat generated by the CPU and moving it away from the heat generating parts of the computer so it can be cooled by the radiator.

This is where OP's idea breaks down a little, with zero airflow heat will condense around radiators and keep the water in the loop from cooling. Watercooling isn't magic, it just moves the CPU heat away from the computer before dispersing it.

Also, what >>51265806 said. Fridges keep things cold if they have a static temperature. Industrial grade refrigerators can cool objects with net positive heat, but those are more expensive than the most comprehensive and sustainable LN2 setup.

Closest you can get is a phase-change system, but it only cools the CPU, hope you have the change for it.

Watercooling does not use the same tech as fridge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration#Methods_of_refrigeration

It's complex.
>>
>>51265485
Without understanding much of how heat works, so correct me if I'm wrong, but where would the heat go?

Sure you can throw cold at it, but heat still has to escape somewhere, aren't you just trapping? You still have to find an efficient way to dispose of it, which won't work in a closed system, am I right?

Also on topic.
Isn't this basically how a fridge works in layman's terms?

>Those new fridges don't create any condensation.
lies, cold and moist always create condensation.
>Let's say I use SSDs instead of HDDs, my CPU and cards are watercooled, no airflow, which means no dust, nothing.
Why chill the case then? There's nothing left to be cooled by the case?
>The temperature inside the case would never go over 8°C.
And no single part would benefit from that
>Wouldn't that be the perfect cooling system?
Besides using tons of extra power for achieving nothing it would be ultimate retard cooling system indeed.

The way I see it is the components will be increasing the amount of heat energy within the air inside, while the refrigeration unit will be decreasing the amount of energy (by "creating" cold) so the two forces will balance out at some point (settle at some temperature).

I realize. You rhetorically asked 'What is watercooling?', implying that refrigeration is a similar technology, then explicitly stated that you believe watercooling to be similar to refrigeration. They are not similar. Phase change units like the one >>51266102 linked are actual computer refrigeration, but are still very different from sticking your computer inside a minifrige.

>>51266248
Nope, maybe in the '60s it would have been, but see the link in >>51266145 for modern refrigeration.

>>51266175
Heat created by refrigeration units is dispersed through copper radiators on the side or back of the unit. This heat isn't what's being generated inside the fridge, however, it's from the refrigeration process itself. Again, see >>51266145

>>51266287
Why? I could get my servants to fill the chest with the finest snow imported from the Arabs. It would cost a shit load of money but it would basically be a Medieval fridge if they had fans and free energy back then.

Just what i thought. Why would anyone cool the whole case? Just cooling the case and not the component would be not efficient enough and stuff would overheat, but if you cool every part individually it's way more energy efficient and effective.
Is this whole thread a trollpost, or did a 12 year old come up with this idea?
>>

>if they had fans and free energy back then
so no

>>51266384
he wouldn't because he thinks modern fridges doesn't create condensation.

There can't be condensation if it was cold to begin with.
>>
>>51269557
if it was cold to begin with there would be no reason to cool it
