Is My PC Too Close to the AC Unit?

    I would leave it exactly where it is and also take the side panel off, if it were me.

    Probably gonna cause condensation on the components over time

    Depends on where you live i guess.

    If you use it as a heater as well, i might raise the temps a bit.

    I’ve got an idea… it involves some tubing, fans and a air filter. =)

    People put AC units in their PCs. I think you’re good.

    Summer, good. Winter, maybe bad?

    I think it should be fine as long as there is no weird interference from the unit.

    Keep monitoring the temps and adjust accordingly.

    If you need to ask, then yes it may be a bit close.

    Is it a bad thing? Not really, it looks fine where it is.
    Is it a good thing? I’m sure it can work just fine.

    But use Be Quiet fans because it’s more silent.

    Yes it is, your PC is going to suddenly explode next Thursday night at 11:48 pm UTC unless it is raining and the wind is blowing in a southeasterly direction at approximately 26 knots

    Be careful with putting your PC too close to the AC – while it can seem like a good idea for the cooling benefits, the condensation that forms can cause significant corrosion that can eventually cause component failure.

    You see it a LOT with ex-mining cards.

    It’ll probably be fine since the PC is not in the output air stream.

    Too far away. I would mount the computer to the AC with gaffa tape.

    Is that the logitec pop keyboard?

    Only thing to watch for is if the PC collects condensation while turned off.
