Fridge Closed-Loop Cooling
Fridge Closed-Loop Cooling
I considered drilling two holes in the side of a mini-fridge, inserting a long liquid-filled loop that would be rolled up inside the freezer compartment, then pulled back out through another hole, carrying fresh chilled liquid. This approach would essentially swap the fans and radiator from a closed-cooled system for a simple freezer route. I’m aware that putting the whole computer in a fridge has worked before but failed... but what about a single loop targeting just the CPU, which seems to be the main cooling point? Anyone have thoughts?
There is a chance water will form on the lines, causing drips that could damage parts inside the computer. The refrigerator will consume a significant amount of power to maintain its temperature. Additionally, the room will become warmer because the fridge releases heat into the space.
