Would making a computer in a mini fridge be a good way as a cooler or would it mess up the electronics?
this idea has been discussed to death for years and years. just google it
tl;dr it's a bad idea
>>54809501
what the actual fuck?
>>54809501
linus did it and it was no good
condensation would probably be an issue
But, what about a deep freezer /g/? Mini fridge is no good obviously, but a deep freezer?
>>54809544
try it and report back
>>54809526
What if I put it in it something like mesh cage and get a box fan?
>>54809523
how do you expect that to work if the ram isn't even connected properly?
>>54809501
a refrigerator is not designed to handle a continuous source of high heat. Its like if you leave the refrigerator door open
>>54809501
there's a reason fridges/freezers have a ton of insulation
the motors aren't made to run constantly, they will burn out very quickly trying to cool your gaymen rig

why not save time and money and build a real computer

It would mess up the compressor.
There have literally been a thousand threads about this and this is probably just a bait spam thread, but it needs to be said for newfriends.
The fridge is actually very inefficient at removing heat for anything that is producing heat.
A mini fridge or even a freezer simply cannot get cold enough to efficiently cool an active source of heat such as a computer.

Not OP, but theoretically speaking what about designing a custom loop with the same principle? The evaporator tubing would run through the CPU and GPU, then you'd have the condenser tubing somewhere further away. You'd have to wrap the tubing on the evaporator side to deal with the condensation. It seems like it could work, but definitely not for long term use. It'd be interesting to do a proof of concept and run it for like an hour.

Got a problem though, my deep freezer is packed with meat.
>>54809701
try sticking some of it up your ass and report back
>>54809674
Ordinary cooling solutions work perfectly fine, why must you make things so complicated?
>>54809715
Instructions unclear, dick frozen to the deep freezer wall, send help.
>>54809501
Fridge a shit, make a peltier cooler instead
Bonus points if you make it turn off before condensation fucks up your computer
lol smiley face

nah senpai I'm comfy here, with my frost bitten dick.

people have tried sub room temperature cooling on loops for years, the primary issues are condensation but it does work
the real issue is that there's no gain, you're not going to get any extra stability on your overclock if you're already at room temperature but you have a massive pain in the ass loud refrigerator/condenser unit connected to your custom loop and have to deal with condensation issues inside the pc, it's just not worth it

>if you're already at room temperature
and just to expand on this, if your primary reason for running refrigeration on your loop is better cooling there's an easier solution, it's called getting a bigger radiator, use a car radiator if you have one

kys then

So much anger anon, I think you should see a shrink. :^)
>>54809760
Wew lad that cringe
>>54810349
It hurts really really bad. :'^(
LinusTechTips did this. It was inefficient and could not keep the temperature cool enough after a 500watt pus ran in there. even 200watt pus would not run right. Check it out on youtube

wow you're one of those guys...

>use a car radiator if you have one
There's some comedy gold found through googling this

>Sticking hardware inside a condenser
Stop being a fedora-donning hipster, and just use heatsinks and fans.
