Can I use my Air Conditioner(AC) turning towards my CPC to keep my Pc cool?

:lol: lol..... One of the wild ideas I had too....but cmon a cabinet with a few cooling fans and vent would be far less cheaper and safer when comparing to the open cabinet and the electric bill :? you'll get if you go with yur idea...

Man no Electric bills Problem with me. So don't worry abt that. Also

Won't it work without opening the Cabinet.

As its surface will be cooled so it'll be inside.According to the topic in physics TRANSFER OF HEAT!

I have tried it often and it works. But the differnce in degrees C (CPU) is not near to the difference in room temp before and after the AC is put on. Even now I have tried.

But it was done only for experimental purpose since I am a chronic non gamer and only try OC at times for fun.

(and the physics of transfer of heat does'nt matter much here since the cool air from outside is sucked in by the fans)
