So,this question poped in my mind.

 

Can Mold affect gaming performance or even a hole pc? like if your pc is next to a wall with Mold can it affect your PC in any way?

 

I'm a educated fool with money on my mind.

They say i got to learn but nobody here to teach me,if they can't understand it how can they reach me

I would be more worried about the moisture that created the mold personally than the mold itself. I think only if the mold broke off and got into your case through the intake fans would I be worried because of bacterial growth etc that can happen in nearly every corner of the world and orifice of your body.

If there's mold inside your computer, probably.

 

Just don't clog up your fans with mold and you should be alright.

 

I think the real question is, why the fuck is your PC next to a moldy wall? Shit's unhealthy mang, you gotta get rid of that wall. Maybe even that whole house.

as long as the mold isnt inside your pc it should be fine.

 

however... mold is EXTREMELY unhealthy to yourself, and you should probably stay the flip away from a moldy room if you want to reach the age of retirement without some horrible lung disease.

It's not my house,i just got that crazy idea since when i was really young i wanted to build a pc and i was living in a mold house but it was not that moldy just a little bit,since i had a upstairs and downstairs,and right next to my stairs was the stove and when my mom cooked the steam wen't up in the room and it got moldy,but it could been easily fixed with proper isolation

Biggest question here is why do you even have mold on your case?

I don't have mold on my case...i don't have mold in my house

thing is that the mold will most likely damage you, before it does irrepairable damage to your pc.
