Fridges

[UltimateDave]

Has anyone ever thought of putting a rad in a fridge, putting the tubes through 2 holes and cooling your cpu and gpu with it?

Why not just install a cpu block to a fridge?

I think it would be cheaper and more practical to just use an aquarium chiller. Condensation would also be a problem.

condecation is going to fry your components.

 

everyone has thought about it but noone does it because its going to condensate and drip all over your precious PC parts

My God, I so want to try that now lol. Do you mean like putting a rad from a custom loop into a fridge? That'd be so cool if someone's done that.

Not if the rad is in the fridge and the tubing and PC is outside of it.

If you cool the components to a temperature that is below the ambient temperature of the room, condensation will form on the components.

Well you can just make the humidity lower, you aren't directly affecting the CPU with what I said, just cooling the rad immensely more.

Since the water is cold, the tubes will also be cold. Water dripping from the tubes down onto the motherboard is not a good idea. 

The waterblocks will also be cold, so condensation can also for on those.

It could possibly work if it was done in a desert or you had a dehumidifier running. I personally think both of those options are way to unpractical and, in the case of the humidifier, expensive to use in your everyday.

The reason this doesn't work is because a fridge is not designed to have heat pumped in it. You will eventually blow the compressor on it. What you can do is get an expensive water chiller for aquariums to get the same effect, but, that's expensive.

This is just crazy - home made freon cooling

Well the whole idea is impractical. You could insulate the tube, though your right about the waterblock that would create condensation.

Yeh, I'd think that would actually work without any problems, if it was done correctly. You'd be able to OC up to whatever you want with only temps in consideration.

There are still overclocking limits once you get to the cold boot bug temp levels. It's why overclocking competitions are still a thing.

^ is what i meant

This sounds like a ghetto version of phase change coolers which are very expensive.
