- I’m sure we’ve ALL thought of doing this to a PC at some point. But is building a computer in a mini fridge ACTUALLY worth the effort?

Simple. Overclock the fridge.
Watercool the fridge itself. Easy.
Cooling the cooler with a cooler. COOLEPTION. (Ception fail)
Kenrick Halff no no no
Put the fridge in a fridge
Y'all spending all that money. Just leave your setup outside for the winter.
Install an AC in the fridge
Build a PC in a 350 degree oven next.
creptrbot ooh, gotta see how they come up in liquid cooled suits
creptrbot Set oven to 1 degree and therefore pc will be 1 degree
Profit?
born 2 biscuit Set it to Zero degrees, CPU might get frosty.
***** trolling is in fact still trolling.
creptrbot System would be baaaked ;)
Almost 5 years later this video pops up in my feed. lol. still a "cool" Idea. lol

RGB fridge reduces temps by 20C. It is known.
RGB does nothing to temperatures.
It makes your pc more efficient
@@ReqeezRafiq no, it overall ups performance
I remember seriously looking up rgb thinking this was a technology aimed at improving pc performance.
Glorious times
@@professionalprocrastinator8103 haha lol :D
It is known
this may not LOOK. like a computer case to you.
nor does it LOOK. like a computer case to me.
because its *not* a computer case.

Wow Linus goes outside? In the sun? Nature?
I went outside once but didn't like the graphics!
i downloaded mods for the RL but it laged and after 1 hour i met a life hacker xD
Does he not look like someone that goes out a lot?
Screw that, everyone's a freaking life hacker
What the fuck is a outside
5 years later this video helped me explain the concept to a friend.
Well it's a mini fridge trying to cool maybe 850w under load, you need a more commercial/industrial cooler
@beat_the_boxer25
2015 to 2020 is 5 years. I understand the months and day date make it 4 years, and you're so very astute to point it out. Your comment was enlightening and well worth reading. Here's 5 Internet Points. They're worthless, but I don't know what you were seeking to gain by posting that nitpick.
5 years? It was just over 4 years when you commented. You're not very good at maths.

@@ProtoV33MK1 Didn't think of that, that's actually pretty reasonable.
put the mini fridge inside a bigger fridge to cool your fridge that cools the ambient temp of the computer.
Please like so linus sees this, I need to know the optimal fridge-ception number!
Would'nt work because a fridge cools down the inside by heating the outside.
Russian fridges?
Jonny Hofmann a fridge gets hot from the outside because it is expelling heat that is inside the fridge constantly. So it would most likely become a tiny bit cooler but not really have any significant changes haha.
i said better. i use my slplit sustem, to cooloing condition, witch cooling my pc. it was pentum D and I play in TES IV. yes, i look like non competent guy))))
I'm no fridge expert, but i feel like fridges work like mega phones, if you line up a bunch of megaphones, then the sound will not get any louder than with one, because megaphones can only amplify the noise to certain degree.
When his mini fridge is bigger than my normal fridge
BlackPanthaa you are literally every where.
***** Actually I think Linus is small not that the fridge is big. xD LOL
***** 'MERICAAAA
***** Do you live very far up north? so you can keep certain items in a cupboard instead of the fridge and it won't spoil?
***** XD yea
"any moisture with powered on electronics is a terrible idea" - 6:30
Also : Puts a Titan X in the fridge
Blow in a stream of nitrogen gas to push all humidity out.
Once a week should be enough.
You can also put chemical desiccant pellets in the crisper.
To be fair, the temperature difference is close to none so it wouldn't matter
I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY THE SPONSOR IS MY KEYBOARD 🥺🥺 it’s been discontinued for years and it’s been amazing for me all this time
It still feels like that keyboard was released yesterday...time flies
That low height keys gets me upset, but I imagine the use case for portability to be nice.
Does corsair not have a comparable keyboard now?

Time to build a computer inside a deep freeze.
+Adam Haas That's what I was thinking. I want to see a system inside a freezer.
+TheSUPERVANQUISH No, he means a deep freeze. I call it a chest freezer like you do, but there are a lot of places in the U.S. where it's more common to say deep freeze.
+2^STONED Mostly a southern and back woods thing. When I moved up north I started hearing "Chest Freezer" and was like "WHAT THA FUCK IS THAT?!"
+Nate Sturm Well in Finland we call fridges "ice cabinets" (direct translation of jääkaappi)
+Adam Haas LOL have fun frying your computer, cold is bad for circuitry just as much as heat.
2019 still surprises me with these golden classics.... thought about something? hes done it. years ago......

Know what, fridges are a pretty good case after all, especially the ones with glass windows
now i wanna see a 7/11 fridge themed pc build
For those of you who didn't want to watch the whole thing: The mini fridge doesn't work, and _can't_ work, because it's effectively an insulated box with no airflow. The fridge has to run continuously just to pump out the heat that would dissipate naturally if the computer were exposed to ambient air instead. The only reason fridges work to keep food cold is because food isn't generating its own heat; once the fridge has cooled off your food, your food _stays_ cold, and the fridge only has to run for a few minutes every hour to pump out the little bit of heat that leaked in through the insulation.
Shawn Elliott so what your saying is overclock your fridge for constant exertion of cool air
One year later: could vents out help with airflow? Possibly removing insulation?
Teach me physics please
We can drill a hole in the sides. lmao. So, don't ever tamper with a fridge. It's has hazardous materials inside.
@dafuqawew Nah, just use a $500,000 walk in freezer. They should have asked for my help with this video. lol.
But you can store snacks in there too
You don't even need to leave to the kitchen! And it does't take extra space as a fridge would if you had a regular PC!
Koxden that would be a bad idea, the condensation from the food could wet any electrical parts, and could break the computer.
Jaeden The Gamer just partition and seal the portion with your computer inside.
Koxden orrrr! Put all your food in Tupperware, the condensation won't spread.
Jaeden The Gamer Just put the PC in tupperware.
This reminds me of the time I found some of my Dad’s aircraft tape, “relocated” the dryer’s exhaust tube to my A/C to funnel cold air into my pc. I swear it worked...
i litterally just said this same thing to my friend yesterday LMAO glad im not the only one with this idea..(i dint try it tho)
It does work as long as you don't get any condensation
This was the first linus tech tips video i ever found. It launched me into building my own computer. I then was able to help my friends build their own computers and through that, make new friends and keep in contact with old ones.
Thank u linus and everyone at LMG love u guys
the next scrapyard wars should involve building a rig in something other than a computer case. Like a fridge or milk-crate.
Or a custom made case! Maybe wood. Who knows.
Tharen Candi Transforming a laptop into a desktop PC would be interesting for me!
Tharen Candi computer built inside the desk. I once found some pics on the internet with glass desk and a pc inside it - very awesome looking thing
***** You can actually buy those desks from retailers. Is not just a modded thing but a commercially sold product.
***** That's not actually that special (still VERY cool, and not entirely common). LianLi actually sold a desk case for a little while (maybe they still do IDK) but not really a scrapyard wars thing...
I feel like this is a bad idea without adequate shielding for the moisture. Edit after watching: Ok, now I'd like to see a test built into an industrial air conditioner. I mean, build the computer into the unit itself.
mattdkfg Thats why you also light a fire inside the fridge
Louis Whitworth What if it's a propane fire?
mattdkfg
Possible now that we have motherboards that are coated with water repellent. :D lol though it isn't a permanent fix obviously as they aren't meant for 24/7 use in or around water. :/ Would still be great to see though!
Or you could do what they do with car tires and fill the fridge up with Nitrogen gas.
Kaoru Sugimura If... IF those are good enough they should be able to handle an actual freezer... But then what about the other components?
I was sorta hoping he'd open the fridge and be like woah that's a blast of heat
It's crazy to see how much the entire video production quality has been upgraded over the years. Yes, the Quad-SLI video brought me here!
It has, I thoroughly enjoy the scrappy feel of these older videos too though.
Had to take a trip down memory lane after seeing that SR2 video too :')
How about extending water cooling loop with copper pipes and making the pipes run through a mini freezer?
Hussain RT The average consumer couldn't do that.
Assasinpiggles The average consumer doesn't do a full building water cooling system either.
DemonAMVs ^ True
Hussain RT And in a freezer, the water could freeze... Let's face it, it's useless.
Assasinpiggles well, that's the point, linus projects were never about the average consumer, it's about doing something weird and unusual.
is Linus a dwarf or is that house built for giants?
He's very short
Pretty sure he's 5,6 or 5,7
Think the first seconds of this video was shot from a bit of a bird-perspective so the door knob looks as its in level with his shoulders
+blackmagic x I rewatched the beginning after reading your comment and literally lol'd
haha
"Is my backpack here?" (Loud beeping) " what's going on?"
This is literally the prototype for the Samsung smart fridge
Or xbox series x
what if you used a swimming pool as a water cooling reservoir with no radiator. Cools your computer and slightly heats your swimming pool win win
Lol, that sounds bad fucking ass
Spencer Stagg There's someone on the LTT forum trying to figure out the feasibility of doing something similar with a fish tank. I haven't followed the thread much so I'm not sure how far he's gotten on the concept.
Link: linustechtips.com/main/topic/385094-passively-cooled-fish-tank-computer/
Spencer Stagg and then someone pees in it.
I think you'd want a radiator or a plate heat exchanger, I don't think you'd want all the junk that makes it's way into a swimming pool circulating through your loop.
If you building a new pool, instead of retrofitting an existing pool, you could embed PVC plumbing into the concrete floor of the pool.
tdhfc XD
Build a computer in space!
*****
radiator only cools to ambient temp. he would need a water chiller/phase chanage unit that can dissapate heat in an oven, oh not to mention the computer would need to be a closed system.
AnAverage Joe Building it in space would be a terrible idea; in space, there is nothing to dissipate the heat and the sun's light is just going to heat the whole thing up even more..
mfw people don't know that it was a joke
AnAverage Joe I support your joke. As many people can't take one
I didn't find that joke funny as it literally made no sense at all.
This was the first linus tech tips video i ever saw
feels good coming back here and remembering everything
It's so nice to see how much this channel has grown
9:24
I'm just gonna go ahead and put "Jiggle the probe" on the list of phrases I should never say, ever.
You sir, are funny.
Yes sir, he is.
+LukeDude759 that shot was funny!!!😂😂😂
The exact moment you picked up the freeze in the beginning of the video I was expecting hearing a cracking sound and then immediately having someone else (pref. many elses) picking up the freeze and putting it on the desk.
ProTip: take care of your waist - it only glues *everything* together.
-sincerely, someone who picked up one time too many a computer case (not a minifreeze) from the floor until he had to spend 2 weeks trying to relearn how to wear his socks and shoes, begging all the gods above and below not to have to sneeze.
Luckily he didn’t drop the fridge
It' 2020. In the middle of covid19. TH-cam recommended this old linus video
Yup
ok and
ok and
Ok and ?
The refrigerator doesn't work because it removes heat very inefficiently. Refrigerators were designed to cool down items that don't produce and maintain a unending source of heat.
HodlersWeekly
Unending source of heat!?
Omg tell me more!
Kaaz unending - does not end as the PC is on unendingly
As long the PC is turned on, it will generate heat (how much depends on what it is doing), no matter what.
Kaaz Are you an idiot ?
REALLY SHERLOCK? Thats what he just said in the video... -_-
Connect the cooling coils from the fridge to a water cooling system :)
my exact thoughts
Sander Datema yessssss please do this I want to see this
The cooling coils are are hot elements that draw the heat out of the food and drinks that make it cooler
Sander is referring to the evaporation coil... And in that case if you used the correct heat exchanger it would work.
the water dont help. it just tankes longer to heat up the system . the fridge isnt build for take away so much heat so all you need is a bigger system.
this was the first linus tech tips video i ever watched from a year ago.... time flies when your watching youtube.
Watching in 2019 videos and this video from 4 years ago Linus 100% same Linuss always
Now lets throw it into a -10 degrese freezer.
Put it gently**
Lol xD

To everyone! Watch this video in 0.5 speed to see Linus being drunk!
+LunaticStoker lol, it actually does make it seem like he is.
+LunaticStoker at at 2 it sounds like he's been sniffing cocaine and caffeine mix all day
+LunaticStoker lmfao perfect timing "ima move my chin nowwwwww"
+LunaticStoker Sounds like Walt Jr from Breaking Bad
+LunaticStoker OMG he sounds so drunk in the intro!!!
I know this channel for a little while and I don't even know if this video is one of the first ones, but I liked the video, we are in 2021 and the old videos of this channel are very good
I really enjoyed this video, it made me think of somethings I hadn't before despite this idea crossing my mind.
The only way this might work with this spec fridge is if there was an exhaust port for the hot air from say the cpu cooler and power supply. In order to keep up exchanging the heat generated it would need help, more than it just the insulated box.
But can it run Crysis?
Why do you think Linus the Scumbag warning us not to build a PC in fridge does it anyway and still lives?
Or Cryostasis? lame evil laugh
SpeedDaemon3 Dat creativity tho... It was marvelous!
But can it run minesweeper?
Guy that likes games :P Why do you think this video even exists then?
the fuck am I watching.
A crazy cooling experiment that turned out not to work due to fridges not really being equipped to handle computer systems.
Dragishawk spoiler :(

I love how Linus 5 years ago and Linus now are the same. Like look at any other person on TH-cam and it’ll look like a whole different person.
I'm pretty sure that the frigde can run cs:go, still without PC inside.
Oh SNAP! 😂👌
You don't need a refrigerator! You guys live in Canada!
It's not always cold...
It's summer

Lol
Yea Its T_H_E_M_A_N185 But it is always Canada, therefore, it is always cold.
That dom sound affect has made me respect u 100x more
Wow Linus, you know a lot stuffs about Thermal Science. Definitely, you're the best tech guy I've ever seen! Keep it up✌
As an engineering student, I approve the solution at 6:50
Biochemistry here so I'm useless :'(
Not there yet, I'll check it
Starving African child here, can I eat your degree?
+lolfreak333
Robotics here. This is a legitimate solution. However, I would rather use duct tape.
As a graduate engineer i disapprove. i don't believe that tape was appropriately rated for this type of job
Moisture damage?
MarcusMeyerTricks at around 6:30+ he answers that question.
boffifis1 That is AFTER it has been cooled. Cold air still contains moisture, so when the build is in the mini fridge, (after very pro-longed exposure) it will probably get some form of damage? I could be wrong... Just a thought I had.
MarcusMeyerTricks
This is why he also said don't use mechanical drives (that would draw moisture quickly and wreck it).
Now, because it's not really dropping below 0 C, it wouldn't rack up moisture quickly.
However, they do build refrigerated server rack units, which normally have space at the bottom (or options for) case system. Those also draw a chunk of the moisture out and generally are gravity fed rather than conduction (which is where a lot of the moisture comes from).
MarcusMeyerTricks silica gel in a vacuum = no moisture only way i can think of to safely prevent moisture
Decent60 actually the mechanical drives should be sealed it isnt moisture it is the expansion and contraction of the materials that they are made of under extreme temps could cause problems with the close tolerances with the parts when they are moving thats why he mentioned only do it on a dieing drive cause sometimes cooling it will make it start to work again long enough to recover data
I remember when I watched this first time... it was as fan as this re-watch. Thanks YT algorithm - seems this is what I needed today. Best regards from the future (and 🧔 Linus)
I have actually been wondering this for a long time
That rig looks like mine! No case , Open air!!! and then Rats came along after I went for a weeks worth of Vacation.
Next time, invest in a large Rubbermade style container, or maybe a large cooler. Or put it in the fridge...
5:46 "This copy of Windows is not genuine"
LINUS YOU REBEL!
It is a real copy, its something to do with swapping a motherboard over and using the same drives, windows seems to then think its a non genuine copy
Edward James Bickels I think it's because of the switching of motherboard, windows 7 only allow you to install in one machine only, if you have a new motherboard install, the will think it's a new pc. Luckily that's not the case anymore with windows 8.1 and 10.
GriggsCk Gaming I Installed my Windows 7 Ultimate Copy 7 Times on different Systems and never had this problem ;)
callum Lawden It has to do with wether you have the OEM or the retail version
Either way, it's still funny
That "is it a good idea to microwave this?" reference brought me so many flashbacks to old TH-cam
Will it blend? That’s the question.
Brings back plasma memories.....
You want cooling? Build yourself a liquid nitrogen case rather than buying a bulky refrigerator.
i tried a pc in a fridge inside a freezer in an elevator and it works.
yes, i created a mobile pc
ductape, engineers' best friend
***** What? that made no sense....
***** you're just proving my point.....
that was not *duct tape.
I just like every linus video before it even starts XD
I live on the bayou coast and the humidity is always 93 percent plus ,winter is those two weeks in January ... open the fridge once and it becomes a rain storm inside
It looks like it'd be nice to "chill" out with this build.
Yeah, itseem s really "cool".... Like in how many builds can you put beer inside to get cool beer?!
The_Bald_Eagle hahah... get out
How do Russians lag if it's so cold there ?
they don't. that's why all those russian gamers are at the top of the leaderboard
***** shit i feel sorry for you man
Milivoje Spalovic temps prevent performance from suffering but nothing can replace hardware with the computing power of a pile of shit aka most office pre-built store bought pc's that dominate the non-gamer consumer market.
Well, to be honest, lag is caused by the shitty internet connections most of russia suffer from (mostly the out of city zones, cities are usually OK). I dont think temperature affects your connection speed that much. if at all.
I think you are mixing up FPS drops and lag.
Puddimans Fps drops is still lag. There are different types of lag.
Thanks for showing up in my recommendations 2019 gang
To solve the no air flow problem, you use a small air conditioner instead of an refrigerator, rigged with the air flow going across the motherboard and the better the enclosure is to confine the air flow to across the motherboard only the better. I've actually tested this somewhat by putting my test bench next to an air conditioner floor vent and using cardboard walls to reflect the air across the motherboard. It looked kinda like a small garage with doors open both ends, with the vent on one side and the air flowing out the other. The computer ran unbelievably cool with the CPU below 90 degrees Fahrenheit under load. I wonder if you would need a CPU cooler under this setup.
flush the computer down the toilet all the cold water flow will keep it nice and cool. trust me it works kids.
Also system32 gets rid of about 30 degrees on your CPU.
*kids*
Krish Lius smart man! Just did that and massive improvements on the temperature for my computer!
If the toilet uses mineral oil - that could work!
Krish Lius also don't forget you have to leave the computer plugged in while you do it.
Mine is high tech pc that has no case and its just laying in the ground everywhere with lots of dust and some rich rat shiting on it best pc
FeresterEX mine was actually like that for a while
How much RAM ?
FeresterEX specs?
Geometrical Alpha haha 😂 it makes me laugh for no reason hahahhaahahhahahhahaha
I'm hindsight, a case really isn't necessary.
i had thought about this in the early 2000's and with older hardware it may have had some useful effect but i hope someday he comes back and retries with a chest style freezer on the warmest temp. it would have way better cooling capacity and space to move a little air without wasting a ton of energy.
I’ve had this idea for so long thank you for trying it
Oh wait this was 4 years ago
Okay, Linus, you can build a computer cooled by water, mineral oil, and even a frickin' mini fridge. That's cool.
But what I wanna know is if you can cool a computer with Liquid Nitrogen.
"Heat throttling?" NAH, SON, THIS BABY NEVER DROPS BELOW 260 CELSIUS
Hopefully every pc always below 260°c
Negative, beg your pardon
Aden P. when water boils at 100 c
What about putting the air flow of an air conditioner THROUGH a PC case?
+
Its too moist. AC air reduces temp, meaning water from the air will turn to liquid on the surfaces.
Napoleon Blownapart actually AC air is pretty dry, isn't it? And in a car you use the ac if it's damp inside to dry it out....
the air itself is dry because the water condensate on the unit cold grills, but some of this cool down moist gets into the air itself and turn to water when it touches surfaces continuously. like metal. thats why ac units produce water, and fridges too. what im saying is, ac does not remove all the water out of the air, it cools it down so it will be more prone to condensation on surfaces. thats why you cant just plug in a pipe directly from the ac and the pc, if you could, there would be already ac cooling on pc's. but you can cool down a room where a pc is as long you are not planing to bring your room to fridge like temps.
you can search on google why you cant use ac air to cool down pc's. it explains better than i do
This was the video of Linus tech tips that I have watch and since then I watch them regularly
Only linus' brings these types of cool videos
You know what would be cool?
Bulding a little soft-drink fridge in the computer using the case-fans :D
mysdoktorn nah. i dont think so... Atleast my air in the pc is really cool
COOLGAMETUBE yeah that would be COOL
COOLGAMETUBE 0_0 how would that work
COOLGAMETUBE That would be cool. I can do it.
you know what else would be cool? The fridge
im really sorry
that was a pretty cool experiment
I see what you did there...he he he...XD
I'm taking a bath in tartar sauce
Without watching the video, I instantly see the problem with this approach if it's going where I think it is. There's much better ways to benefit from the heat exchanger because a fridge is insulated meaning sure it cools stuff down, by pulling the heat out, but it also traps heat in, and a PC is pumping out heat faster than a normal fridge could cool it down so you'd at very least need to have the door open to let the majority of the heat escape, at least then the heat exchanger at the back has some benefit of exposing some part of the system to a cooling effect, but really what you'd want to do to benefit from a fridge like heat exchange system is to gut the fridge and only use the heat exchanger with the heat absorber inside your case and the heat expeller end outside of the case, the problem I'd want to address in this case is to negate any chance of condensation that might get introduced by the extremely cool bars, which might be mitigated with some kind of plastic covering, or find some way just to introduce the cooled air from the heat exchange into the system, essentially think of it more like an air conditioner than a fridge
Linus, for cru oout loud! You should try to hook up the fridge's colling system to the liquid cooler!

the real question is: why "fridge" has the [D] between the 'i' and the 'g' but "refrigerator" doesn't ? (sorry for my bad english)
GradeAunderA huh
dumba Because whoever made the word fridge and refrigerator hates us
dumba because English is dumb
because trump
I think I understand why. it has to do with the pronunciation of the word refrigerator. The word was simply being mispronounced for so long that an errant abbreviation was created for it. You see "frigus" means cold but as you can see the g in "frigus" should be pronounced like the g in "grab". However, somehow people started pronouncing the g in refrigerator like the g in "hedge". Hence, when they went to abbreviate the world they added a d because that is the only time you shouldn't pronounce a g like you would in the word "grab", when its preceded by a d. That being said "frig" is a perfectly acceptable spelling of the abbreviation and is actually a listed spelling of the abbreviation in Websters dictionary.
So love that you guys are canadian and so you're using celsius instead of that weird fahrenheit those americanos use.
ahhh yes, i love the old ltt vids with audio rips
try "PC Build in a Freezer" instead of a normal Fridge
James L Ya a massive cubic volume reach in freezer, so it can keep up.
What I was thinking
It's the exact same principle. A refrigerator that has a lower set point on the thermostat. The same problem still exists. For this to work, you need to build a small room/case that will be cooled with an AC system, not a fridge. Just think of an actual commercial computer room full of servers. They don't just use a regular AC system like you have serving the rest of the adjoining offices. Those big Leibert units (yes I have a background in HVAC) were designed specifically for such uses. They run continuously rather than tripping on and off. There are smaller systems made for smaller computer rooms, and perhaps one could make a little closet with the indoor half of the system and their PC in there, and the outdoor half outdoors. Not exactly cheap, or practical but then again there's always somebody that will do it just because they can and no one else has.
and the computer is a hot brick in the first place so it needs to cool the parts hardware and case first
There is also the problem of condensation, the first time you open the freezer door and water molecules from the air start attaching to your components your computer will be minutes away from a pop and a stop.

That's a full sized fridge where I live. We don't use these giant fridges like the ones you guys in the US got. With a mini fridge I think of one that you can put beneath your sofa or something just to store your drinks in.
***** Well, we have a fridge of that size and a separate freezing unit. This gives us about as much, if not more, space than having one of this full sized fridges with only small freezing space. We also don't put as much in the fridge like you do in america. Only those things that actually need to be cooled. Cheese, butter etc.
Well, the fact grocery stores can be miles away does not only apply to america. The next grocery store is 9km out, or if you want a really big one with huge stock 14km.
noobenstein untrue. I'm form Norway and we got those "huge fridges"
noobenstein I'm American and not fat and I still eat a lot. Working out does that.
Also, European countries do have significant obesity rates so don't pretend that it's not like that.
Huge fridge would be with 2 doors...
+Jacob Kettler or three. sub-zero make one the size of a small car. its not even a walk in cooler.
Wanted to do this back in 2010, I think I will finally make my dream happen. Also I wanted to have a cooled reservoir not place the rid in a cooled space, as Linus said the air has to go some where.
2021 and Linus still got the coolest cooling system
poor liquid nitrogen on it lol
Lol
Liquid Nitrogen enclosure would be awesome
Liquid Cooling with Liquid Nitrogen anyone!?
Pour*
+GameFillip BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! GIT EM!!!!
now try a freezer
Same thing would happen
How about a freezer with fans inside :)
Well, honestly it depends on how big the freezer is. A rather large (20ish cubic foot) freezer might be able to keep ambient temperatures down for an hour or so. If you had access to freezers that large restaurants use, which are the size of a room, then it could keep ambient temperature down for quite a while (possibly indefinitely). If you had access to a meat packing plant that processes frozen meat... But honestly, if you're going to do that, you might as well just build a computer in the antarctic. You could also just ask your local grocer how much it would cost to lease a spot in the back of their freezer section to put your computer.
The larger the freezer, the less the thermal energy from the computer is going to make an impact. But you're right, it will always make an impact no matter how small.
Brian Kleppe It would just move the heat around inside the freezer, that wouldn't work either
All the ice and water condensation will quickly destroy your components
Haven’t turned on the furnace all year so the rig stays cool
Conceptually this is good. Its basically what server rooms are. You can increase thermal by large area or increased air flow. This allows direct control over ambient. Its effectively a Diff Q problem. The fridge has to be strong enough to over come the heat production in the same unit of time as the heat extraction. A control circuit will regulate the internal air temperature. Its a better way than liquid nitrogen for sustained runs. The fridge has insulation which most server rooms do not to my knowledge. The narrow space will help reduce the massive size of the pump required. Microclimates are a potential problem for servers. Home air conditioners are not generally size to have huge production in single location and also like a fridge expect to have some time to pull it out. Walls are insulted for much of the same reason, however internal walls are generally not.
Eco behavior may have been ignored. Some may operate slowly assuming a degree of thermal capacitance which resists thermal change. Which allows adding objects to fridge to stabilize the dooring opening and closing also smooth out thermals of production. Just like electrical loads. Going along with eco, some compressors may only handle high power bursts like deep freeze modes. Capacitance may prolong this time, however how long the compressor can sustain repeated cycles of that mode depends. Point is you would want to consider your fridge/freezer carefully.
