Hello,
My GPU's (7870, and 6950) are very loud when at max usage. So I've decided to put my PC on my balcony where its ~5c cold. My GPU's are in a closed case and are behind a couch on the balcony. I would like to know if they would get damaged, I don't think they will, because they run at 70-80c there, and that should counteract any humidity there. Also they will not get rained on or get in any contact with water what so ever as I blocked them with a waterproof cloak. Do you think that the PC might get damaged, it's doing it's own work I don't have or need a screen atatched to it, and its 24/7 for a month and then I will put it back in my house.

thanks for any help.

Yeah that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Honestly it sounds to me like you will be alright but you will never see someone recommend doing this since there is still some risk of weather involved and to lose an entire machine due to it would be terrible

Well the cool weather will certainly help with any possible overheating and of course it will kill the noise for you, if it stays dry then you will be fine having it out there. but even with all the assurances in the world the weather would scare me.

Let me guess, bitcoin mining?

Is so cold outside, means there's lot of humidity in the air even though you might not see water drops on the case. Your components might get rusty over time.
Is there any way to reduce the noise to your system? Better fans, water cooling?

Like the thing that I get when I buy a pack of seaweed? You see the thing is that a laptop could work there just fine, so I'm a bit confused that a desktop might be something to worry about.

Thanks

Exactly. What happens when hot air meets with the cold? Like when you blow your breath on a cold winter.
