Bought a new mini fridge and I was just wondering if the fridge might affect the temps on my pc, or if there are factors I should worry about.

No, you could very easily wipe out your entire town from doing that.
depends where it exhausts
Sure. Enjoy
I believe frides generate heat. Just be careful that this heat does not end up affecting your pc
You could experience some weird effects from random electronics that are “unshielded” whether it be on the fridge or pc itself. But highly unlikely, just know if you experience it then you’ll have to move it further away
Obviously not.. you will freeze the planet with so much RGB.
A fellow fan of cyberpunk I see
You’re putting us all at risk in doing so, but it’s ultimately your choice.
The condenser heat will likely make its way through your pc but with such high airflow probably will hardly notice
Hey what are those cables that have the lights in them? I want em.
Can I get some “wtf’s” in the chat, fam? No but seriously, where and what do you stream, gamer? Is your gfuel locked?
What’s the wattage on the fridge? You might be maxing out the rooms circuit.
I wouldn’t. Cooling requires exhausting heat somewhere. So why would you want hot air near your PC?
Which one is the fridge
for real. Temps most likely will get a bit higher as warm air from the condensator and pump will go up and will be sucked into you pc. And cold and warm can create humidity which why you should have at least 10cm space around a fridge in best case.
I have one about 2.5 ft from my pc and it makes no difference. Just crank the ac and let the next generation deal with the fallout
How cool is that!? So I went to your room and read your diary.
what’s that temp screen!
Save some pussy for the rest of us. Smh
stop bragging and sell that fridge ffs.
which one?
what one?
Fun fact: refrigerators don’t actually cool, they just remove the heat from the compartment.
That heat comes out of exhausts, along with the heat from the machinery.
Real title: “Let me flex my mini fridge on here guys”
That’s incorrect placement. Everyone knows the correct place to put the PC is inside the fridge. 20% extra FPS for free.
Just put your pc in the fridge and there’ll be no negative temps on the pc.
Clearly you never heard about the pc-refridge war of 1978, these two are NOT friends.
Get a UPS (**Uninterruptible Power Supply**) for the PC if they’re on the same circuit. The kick on voltage drop might be enough to destabilize the PC when it’s under a high load. I have a 4.3cf mini fridge in my office and use a UPS for that reason.
Edited to clarify UPS.
Think of the children!!!
No, your gonna get confused and put monsters in your pc
Well how many watts is your fridge, PC, monitors, and everything else plugged into that same circuit, you could overload the circuit tripping the breaker, or worse..
Liquid refreshment situation that closely to your main recreational area could result in insufficient bodily movement and an eventual situation of being “lazy as fuck”.
Go for it.
Well now all your Dr peppers are gone you PC drank them all
So I went to your room
and read your diary.
Only because they appear to be from the same canonical cyber-verse
Nah it matches the gay bar theme, not there’s anything wrong with that. Happy pride month
https://youtu.be/CnMRePtHMZY?si=pOPu4o4gRv0nTxNg. Mini fridges are baaaaaad
Why put it near your case when you can put it IN your case?

I kid of course. No. There’s no real drawback to having a mini fridge near your case unless it’s generating a lot of heat near an intake fan.
put the pc inside the fridge for better cooling 👍
Obesity inbound
The only worrying thing is the internal heat generation in the room where they’re both located: The PC and the fridge generate heat themselves; if they’re in a poorly ventilated environment, it’ll turn into a sauna in no time. You’ve given me an idea for the future, but I don’t know how to counteract nitrogen or carbone dioxide condensation to prevent the PC components from rusting or dying… Sorry, I was thinking about building a PC/Fridge.
You should put the PC in the mini fridge for better temperatures and performance.
Woah.
I’m rocking the same case and stuff but what is that component in the center of your build that’s showing the temperature?
Also I feel like as long as it’s not right up against each other than it should be fine cuz I know the backs of even mini refrigerators can sometimes the sides can pump out some heat
Id consider where the mini fridge exhausts it’s heat, and where your pc intake fans are. You don’t want hot air going into your pc.
Refrigerators make things cold by getting hot. Depending on where your computer is pulling air in from you could be getting higher temperatures on all components.
Yo dog, I heard you liked coolers.
Check where the exhaust on the fridge is. If it’s blowing into the wall or upwards into the PC intake, that will probably cause some issues. If it’s blowing out under your desk, you’ll have warm feet but shouldn’t have too many issues.
