Simple. Overclock the fridge.

Build a PC in a 350 degree oven next.

Almost 5 years later this video pops up in my feed. lol. still a "cool" Idea. lol

RGB fridge reduces temps by 20C. It is known.

5 years later this video helped me explain the concept to a friend.

Wow Linus goes outside? In the sun? Nature?

3:00 That's a very effective low battery alert.

I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY THE SPONSOR IS MY KEYBOARD 🥺🥺 it’s been discontinued for years and it’s been amazing for me all this time

this may not LOOK. like a computer case to you. nor does it LOOK. like a computer case to me. because its *not* a computer case.

put the mini fridge inside a bigger fridge to cool your fridge that cools the ambient temp of the computer. Please like so linus sees this, I need to know the optimal fridge-ception number!

"any moisture with powered on electronics is a terrible idea" - 6:30 Also : Puts a Titan X in the fridge

2019 still surprises me with these golden classics.... thought about something? hes done it. years ago......

Time to build a computer inside a deep freeze.

the next scrapyard wars should involve building a rig in something other than a computer case. Like a fridge or milk-crate.

Know what, fridges are a pretty good case after all, especially the ones with glass windows

This reminds me of the time I found some of my Dad’s aircraft tape, “relocated” the dryer’s exhaust tube to my A/C to funnel cold air into my pc. I swear it worked...

He's a really good presenter.

But you can store snacks in there too

This was the first linus tech tips video i ever found. It launched me into building my own computer. I then was able to help my friends build their own computers and through that, make new friends and keep in contact with old ones. Thank u linus and everyone at LMG love u guys

I was sorta hoping he'd open the fridge and be like woah that's a blast of heat

For those of you who didn't want to watch the whole thing: The mini fridge doesn't work, and _can't_ work, because it's effectively an insulated box with no airflow. The fridge has to run continuously just to pump out the heat that would dissipate naturally if the computer were exposed to ambient air instead. The only reason fridges work to keep food cold is because food isn't generating its own heat; once the fridge has cooled off your food, your food _stays_ cold, and the fridge only has to run for a few minutes every hour to pump out the little bit of heat that leaked in through the insulation.

When his mini fridge is bigger than my normal fridge

It's crazy to see how much the entire video production quality has been upgraded over the years. Yes, the Quad-SLI video brought me here!

"Is my backpack here?" (Loud beeping) " what's going on?"

How about extending water cooling loop with copper pipes and making the pipes run through a mini freezer?

9:24 I'm just gonna go ahead and put "Jiggle the probe" on the list of phrases I should never say, ever.

This was the first linus tech tips video i ever saw feels good coming back here and remembering everything

It's so nice to see how much this channel has grown

is Linus a dwarf or is that house built for giants?

I feel like this is a bad idea without adequate shielding for the moisture. Edit after watching: Ok, now I'd like to see a test built into an industrial air conditioner. I mean, build the computer into the unit itself.

this was the first linus tech tips video i ever watched from a year ago.... time flies when your watching youtube.

Thank you for this video; it really cleared up my misconceptions.

To everyone! Watch this video in 0.5 speed to see Linus being drunk!

what if you used a swimming pool as a water cooling reservoir with no radiator. Cools your computer and slightly heats your swimming pool win win

I know this channel for a little while and I don't even know if this video is one of the first ones, but I liked the video, we are in 2021 and the old videos of this channel are very good

It' 2020. In the middle of covid19. KZfaq recommended this old linus video

Build a computer in space!

Now lets throw it into a -10 degrese freezer.

This is literally the prototype for the Samsung smart fridge

I really enjoyed this video, it made me think of somethings I hadn't before despite this idea crossing my mind. The only way this might work with this spec fridge is if there was an exhaust port for the hot air from say the cpu cooler and power supply. In order to keep up exchanging the heat generated it would need help, more than it just the insulated box.

Connect the cooling coils from the fridge to a water cooling system :)

I'm pretty sure that the frigde can run cs:go, still without PC inside.

Watching in 2019 videos and this video from 4 years ago Linus 100% same Linuss always

That dom sound affect has made me respect u 100x more

The refrigerator doesn't work because it removes heat very inefficiently. Refrigerators were designed to cool down items that don't produce and maintain a unending source of heat.

The exact moment you picked up the freeze in the beginning of the video I was expecting hearing a cracking sound and then immediately having someone else (pref. many elses) picking up the freeze and putting it on the desk. ProTip: take care of your waist - it only glues *everything* together. -sincerely, someone who picked up one time too many a computer case (not a minifreeze) from the floor until he had to spend 2 weeks trying to relearn how to wear his socks and shoes, begging all the gods above and below not to have to sneeze.

Luckily he didn’t drop the fridge

I have actually been wondering this for a long time

ductape, engineers' best friend

But can it run Crysis?

watching this in 2021 and seeing how much they have progressed makes me happy :')

I just like every linus video before it even starts XD

That rig looks like mine! No case , Open air!!! and then Rats came along after I went for a weeks worth of Vacation.

5:46 "This copy of Windows is not genuine" LINUS YOU REBEL!

I remember when I watched this first time... it was as fan as this re-watch. Thanks YT algorithm - seems this is what I needed today. Best regards from the future (and 🧔 Linus)

This was the video of Linus tech tips that I have watch and since then I watch them regularly

the fuck am I watching.

i tried a pc in a fridge inside a freezer in an elevator and it works.

Only linus' brings these types of cool videos

I love how Linus 5 years ago and Linus now are the same. Like look at any other person on KZfaq and it’ll look like a whole different person.

You don't need a refrigerator! You guys live in Canada!

As an engineering student, I approve the solution at 6:50

I’ve had this idea for so long thank you for trying it

That "is it a good idea to microwave this?" reference brought me so many flashbacks to old KZfaq

It looks like it'd be nice to "chill" out with this build.

Moisture damage?

LMFAO the brosciencelife "do you even lift" gun shot at 1:30

So love that you guys are canadian and so you're using celsius instead of that weird fahrenheit those americanos use.

What about putting the air flow of an air conditioner THROUGH a PC case?

You know what would be cool? Bulding a little soft-drink fridge in the computer using the case-fans :D

Wow Linus, you know a lot stuffs about Thermal Science. Definitely, you're the best tech guy I've ever seen! Keep it up✌

I live on the bayou coast and the humidity is always 93 percent plus ,winter is those two weeks in January ... open the fridge once and it becomes a rain storm inside

that was a pretty cool experiment

i can now store my beer and pc in the same place. im ready for a zombie apocalypse

Thanks for showing up in my recommendations 2019 gang

Linus, for cru oout loud! You should try to hook up the fridge's colling system to the liquid cooler!

How do Russians lag if it's so cold there ?

Okay, Linus, you can build a computer cooled by water, mineral oil, and even a frickin' mini fridge. That's cool. But what I wanna know is if you can cool a computer with Liquid Nitrogen. "Heat throttling?" NAH, SON, THIS BABY NEVER DROPS BELOW 260 CELSIUS

2021 and Linus still got the coolest cooling system

The one video I always wanted to watch about PC building.

5:40 You nasty pirates LOL

when the test bench is better than your actual computer

Haven’t turned on the furnace all year so the rig stays cool

that intro was the best throwback i have ever seen. Is it a good idea to microwave this?

It would work better if they put the cold side radiator of the fridge over the air inlets of the case, and put the compressor in the out airflow to allow continuous use.

now try a freezer

ahhh yes, i love the old ltt vids with audio rips

i had thought about this in the early 2000's and with older hardware it may have had some useful effect but i hope someday he comes back and retries with a chest style freezer on the warmest temp. it would have way better cooling capacity and space to move a little air without wasting a ton of energy.

1:02 WHAT R THOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Mine is high tech pc that has no case and its just laying in the ground everywhere with lots of dust and some rich rat shiting on it best pc

To solve the no air flow problem, you use a small air conditioner instead of an refrigerator, rigged with the air flow going across the motherboard and the better the enclosure is to confine the air flow to across the motherboard only the better. I've actually tested this somewhat by putting my test bench next to an air conditioner floor vent and using cardboard walls to reflect the air across the motherboard. It looked kinda like a small garage with doors open both ends, with the vent on one side and the air flowing out the other. The computer ran unbelievably cool with the CPU below 90 degrees Fahrenheit under load. I wonder if you would need a CPU cooler under this setup.

So good all your intros lol!

That's a full sized fridge where I live. We don't use these giant fridges like the ones you guys in the US got. With a mini fridge I think of one that you can put beneath your sofa or something just to store your drinks in.

try "PC Build in a Freezer" instead of a normal Fridge

cant wait to see the cooling a pc with an hvac unit video

Without watching the video, I instantly see the problem with this approach if it's going where I think it is. There's much better ways to benefit from the heat exchanger because a fridge is insulated meaning sure it cools stuff down, by pulling the heat out, but it also traps heat in, and a PC is pumping out heat faster than a normal fridge could cool it down so you'd at very least need to have the door open to let the majority of the heat escape, at least then the heat exchanger at the back has some benefit of exposing some part of the system to a cooling effect, but really what you'd want to do to benefit from a fridge like heat exchange system is to gut the fridge and only use the heat exchanger with the heat absorber inside your case and the heat expeller end outside of the case, the problem I'd want to address in this case is to negate any chance of condensation that might get introduced by the extremely cool bars, which might be mitigated with some kind of plastic covering, or find some way just to introduce the cooled air from the heat exchange into the system, essentially think of it more like an air conditioner than a fridge

Because we all have titan x graphics cards in our test benches.

Mom:"son what are you doing?" Me:"shutup i need the fridge" XD

Wanted to do this back in 2010, I think I will finally make my dream happen. Also I wanted to have a cooled reservoir not place the rid in a cooled space, as Linus said the air has to go some where.

I looked up computer parts and mini fridge on amazon now I’m getting this vid
