00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,080
heat is the constant nemesis of any computer

enthusiast and between custom water loops RGB fans and beefy tower style

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,480
heat sinks a massive industry is sprung up around keeping your precious

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,199
components as cool as possible

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,640
not a problem for me but is all this effort for nothing i

6
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,599
mean nearly all of us have a refrigerator in our homes to reliably

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,840
create a cold environment so we don't get food poisoning from our leftover

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:36,239
frito pie so why can't we just stick our computers in the fridge and forego all

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,879
of these expensive cooling gadgets well other than the fact that your cables

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,280
will stick out of the fridge and cause you to lose cold air embarrassing there

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,039
are actually some pretty big issues with the idea the first thing to remember is

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,280
that a refrigerator is designed to remove heat from food and then turn off

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,960
its own compressor once everything inside gets down to a cold enough temperature relying on insulation to

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,399
keep things cold for a while before it has to kick back on although the fridge

15
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:04,239
might have to work harder if you put in a bunch of thanksgiving turkey that's at

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
room temperature it can still handle the task since the turkey isn't going to be

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,680
continually spitting out tons of heat computer components on the other hand

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,840
generate lots of heat especially when you're running dew maternal at 8k or

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,439
unzipping all that RAM you downloaded in even the best case scenario a

20
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,439
refrigerator's compressor won't be able to remove all that continuous heat

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,840
quickly enough meaning the inside of the fridge could actually become warm and at

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,320
worst you could end up damaging the fridge as the compressor constantly

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,000
strains to cool things down on top of that you'd run a high risk of actually

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,360
wrecking your components suppose you leave a pc inside a fridge for long

25
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,759
enough for the component surfaces to cool off any moisture inside your

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:48,320
refrigerator could then condense on your components just as it condenses on a

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,799
cold drink on a hot humid day that certainly looks super refreshing in a

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,680
soda commercial but pc components don't drink soda that's a free tech tip right

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,680
there if your pc components get wet they could short out and suffice it to say

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:06,320
that your crazy experiment to prolong the life of your electronics would come

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:10,080
to an ironic tragic end and if you put your pc in a fridge that you open

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,120
regularly this risk would be even greater as you'd probably introduce more

33
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,120
warm moist air every time you open it

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,239
disgusting but why don't radiators and water coolers that are designed for

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,720
computer parts suffer from the same problems well although these solutions

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:30,160
market themselves with cool names like primo chill and twin frozer

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,840
your components are still much warmer than ambient even if you have an awesome

38
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:39,120
cooler that keeps your high performance CPU and GPU below 60 degrees celsius

39
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,640
under load that's still going to be much warmer than the ambient room temperature

40
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,239
unless you're living in a walk-in barbecue in which case i think you have

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,480
more immediate problems to worry about remember a component that's hot to the

42
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,440
touch can still be cool enough to function with no issues you just don't

43
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,720
want them to be literally frozen just let it go

44
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,319
on top of that computer cooling products are designed better for continuous

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,440
active heat exchange than a home refrigerator is heat pipes water pumps

46
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,440
and fans operate the entire time your computer is powered on to draw heat away

47
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,680
from your components and ultimately dispel it into open space without

48
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,239
breaking down your cooler contrast that with a fridge that instead relies on

49
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,800
insulation to keep heat from getting in as well as a compressor that's not

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,159
designed to be running all the time otherwise you'd have to go catch it

51
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,680
now all this isn't to say there aren't exotic cooling solutions that a

52
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,760
refrigerator like that can cool electronics properly some enthusiasts

53
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,680
have invested in expensive phase change cooling systems that operate using

54
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:45,680
similar principles to a fridge and air conditioners that help cool data centers

55
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,760
also use evaporating liquid to keep all those servers from overheating but as

56
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,440
far as trying to stick your pc inside your mini fridge you're much better off

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:04:00,480
just using it to stop your bologna sandwiches from spoiling and if they do

58
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,400
make a better sandwich baloney john

59
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,799
speaking of better things you should play a better game like today's sponsor

60
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:12,640
world of tanks they're a free to play multiplayer game for pc mac and mobile

61

and by free to play we mean free to win

62
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,720
meaning battles are decided based on skill not how much money you have to

spend on dlc the game features over 550 historically
