Minimum temperature the "pc" will work?

DreamSeller · Jun 23, 2009

The motherboard the fans the ram gpu hdd psu and the screen (add if i forgot something)

I'm just planing to take it to my grandparents and play with it and the temperature in some rooms are ~10C and i wanted to know if "they" will work at this temp ? :rolleyes:

slyfox2151 · Jun 23, 2009

it will LOVE the low temps and might even run faster with an overclock

id leave it turned on and disable hdd spin down, some people on here have said that the oil/lube? in them wont work well at low temps untill it warms up a bit from usage .... just something some one said on here not sure who or if its true

other then that... no problems at all!

every PC will work, until 0C. hard drives tend to not like that.

basically, watch out for condensation - if you're leaving it off for a while, consider covering it with something (plastic garbage bag?)

edit: its about 6C outside my house right now, and my PC is running fine (no heater)

well i don't know... the reason i'm asking is because a few years ago when i wasn't even able to install an OS i gave it to a "friend..." and it was december and when he brang it to me it was to cold lol so i had to wait...

Geofrancis · Jun 23, 2009

it will work fine as long as you dont let it cool down by switching it off.

W1zzard · Jun 23, 2009

anything above 0°C should be no problem. if you go subzero you should keep the system running as the previous poster mentioned. also condensation is your biggest enemy at any temperature. condensation forms if a surface is cooler than the surrounding air and the humidity is >0%

-272K! (Hopefully.....)

Yes, condensation is BAD. 10C should be fine.

newtekie1 · Jun 23, 2009

The only time condensation should be a problem is if he moves the computer from a cold room to a warm one...so don't do that, and if you do let it aclimate for an hour or so to the rooms temperature before turning it on.

definitely not that cold. at those temperatures you get all kinds of funky electrical effects

Curious . . . don't you mean -272C?

Seeing as how the kelvin scale starts at 0 . . .

Err I think you're right.

-273C = absolute 0.

ShadowFold · Jun 23, 2009

Or 0 on the Kelvin scale, which will freeze all molecules and I don't think it will work then :laugh:

I paid attention in physics class

I did too, its just been.... almost 4 years now :banghead:

DreamSeller · Jun 23, 2009

so you guys saying it will be fine in a room thats +10 C
by condensation you mean from cold to warm ? and if so i'll have to wait a hour or so for it to warm at the normal temperature room (at that time i guess ~+20-25C)

MilkyWay · Jun 23, 2009

Condensation is the formation of liquid drops from water vapor.

W1zzard · Jun 23, 2009

10° will be no problem at all .. except for the user who will freeze his balls off

ill just oc it that will be i hope ~ 15 mins then ill let it to test for stability and check if its ok every 30-60 mins

thanks guys for helping me out !!!

That's why we OC

Or, if you happen to still run a Pentium 4, stock clocks will keep you rather warm, too :toast:

I can manage with 10*C

Scotland is 10 *C if we're lucky.
