Incredibly dumb meme. Don’t put electronics near water like this.

    It’s a meme but #2 is something I actually would do although it wouldn’t be inside the PC. Surprisingly effective at dropping temps.

      Something I actually had to do with my first pc in it’s last weeks of life. And it works pretty good. At least good enough to keep the pc from overheating but it was too loud to use without headphones.

        Yeah, it’s not the most ideal when playing with people. I did this with a PC that had an R9 290 which would skyrocket to 90C every time I played a game so in summer, it would get really warm really quickly. The fan method helped slowed that down and I believe the PC would shut down if the CPU got too hot.
