What is the minimum temperature that you should let your computer run at?

[DoubleY]

Based on all of the different parts in your computer, what is the coldest that you should let it run in Celsius? 

 

[defunkt]

The hdd would fail pretty quickly. 

[8521546]

as cold as you can get it  not if u got a hdd

[DoubleY]

The hdd would fail pretty quickly. 

What if there was an SSD in there? No HDD.

[Snapy1]

NULL

[DoubleY]

as cold as you can get it

I don't think you should run your computer at -100C

[Bluethulhu]

CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, and RAM can go pretty low, mechanical hard drives and optical drives would die very soon after cold temperatures were introduced. Fans might react strangely at freezing temperatures.

[ttam]

Colder the better.

[Jogostar]

I usually don't let my cpu hit above 45-55 Celsius 

how with an 660 FTW and 8350?

I dont have my GPU overclocked, but my CPU is usually over clocked to 4.3GHz when doing rendering and what not, then I usually put it down to 4.0GHz when gaming, I do have a Corsair 80i

If there was an SSD and no HDD.  75c absolute MAX.  65c preferably.

if you run your pc in -100c don`t think it`s going to be a problem  whats gonna break if u run it in a -100c enviorment? (enviorment or however it`s written, im norwegian)

[flibberdipper]

10C minimum.

The hard drive... Optical drive... Liquid cooling, I'd imagine...

Not the hottest, the coldest.

ssd, don`t think u use your optical drive in -100c.... and if u run it in -100c u probaly don have liquid cooling... or if u have you have some cemicals that does not turn into ice

[8521546]

i wuld try to run a pc and then dip it in liquid nitrogen, just to see what happends does liquid nitrogen lead electrisity?

Still. Never said there was a guideline.

[8521546]

10C minimum

im gonna try to run my old pc in -20c in my garrage this winter :3

That's why I am wondering. I want to put a mining rig in the garage

 

It's been as low as -23C where I live

[nsyedhasan]

10C becasue under that condensation starts.

[Night]

Uhhh Probably not below 0°. I can see some issues with water cooling at freezing temps.

[Jack.EXE]

depending on mechanical parts.

 

If it's all solid state: 0 Degrees Kelvin (lowest possible temperature, Outer Space is usually around 14 K)

 

if it's mechanical, I'd say 20 degrees Celsius.

[mrsocksman]

One time speedfan bugged and said I was running at -999C
