I know I can buy almost everything online but I'm trying to save some money on things that I'm pretty sure that can be made at home. (lets forget freezer)
thank you for all information

Phase changing cooling is good, but the only thing you have to watch for is condensation. Water cooling probably is cheaper than phase changing cooling and more widely available.

It is called Phase Change cooling and you can buy kits nowadays.

Back in my day, Sonny Boy, we had to make our old fridges and freezers into computer cooling systems.  You can buy commercial kits now.

Hi, I am a newbie on this forum Smiley
I am asking if someone had an experience of cooling your rigs in a freezer? is it possible?
Cause i was thinking that graphic cards are achieving about 80 degrees Celsius and if you cooled it down in a freezer is it too much for gpu or it will be good?
thanx  Smiley

Freezer is a bad idea but I saw someone did it before and bring down the temperature to really low like 30-40C. But the down side is you can only put 1 graphic card, any more then that ganna heat up the freezer too fast and it become worse then room temperature.

Terrible idea, too much heat for a fridge. Someone tried it and burnt out his fridge in no time. Oh and we don't do GPU mining here, so I'll help you move to where it is.
