Radiators and Desktop PCs

Mo Nadat · Feb 19, 2014

By the title, many of you are probably groaning in despair but just hear me out. I have a choice of either putting my tower PC on my desk (close to a radiator) or under my bed because my room is tiny. Soooo please tell me what I could do.

I would put it on your desk so it can get airflow. As long as you have good airflow, you should be fine, and putting it under your bed may lead to either lower airflow and\or more dust buildup.

Will the heat from the radiator not be a problem?

It depends. Usually fans pull air from the front of the case, and blows it out the back. If you put the back of the computer towards the radiator it should be fine. Just make sure you can feel the air being pushed out the back of the computer.

Yes. The power cables are usually insulated enough that they don't get very hot. You could maybe use some tape, conduit, or cable holders to direct the cable so it gets the least amount of heat from the radiator. Also if you can cross under the radiator(on the floor) you'll probably not get any affect on the cable as heat rises.
