So i live in the north, and every night i turn off the heat in my home to save some money. Which in turn causes the temperature to drop to around 10-20°f. Ive been wondering is this damaging my graphics card because ive been geting some terrible halo affects when i fist turn the pc on. After a few restarts it goes away but by then the card is around 20-30°c.

no, if LN2 is fine then why would this do any damage? the only thing might be if there is condensation from high humidity i guess? but the cold itself isnt doing any harm directly

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

It's possible the halo is due to the monitor getting cold and not the PC.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
