Hello,
I just noticed something strange, never seen this before.
I was venting my appartment in this winter... and it's pretty cold outside... the temperature inside dropped to 12 degrees celcius... me wearing a jacket for fun and warmth..
Suddenly one of the fans of the PC starts to make this weird car like sound...
I fiddle a bit with speed and then turn PC off to see if it was indeed the PC.
And yes it was...
Then I used screw driver to turn the fan blades manually and it seems a bit though to turn the fan blades..
So I am guessing the cold either frooze the oil a little bit... or more likely the steel itself expanded a little bit... which might make it harder to turn these fan blades !
I thought I'd report this in case a "ice-age" happens ! LOL.
Then again... would our PCs still need cooling fans ?!
Well... maybe... if we can keep temperature up... but let's supposed it drops below 10 degrees celcius... we humans might survive... but what about our PCs ?!
Will the PC fan blades/shafts/holes all JAM UP ?!
I think this is worth investigating further what happens if a PC is cooled down but cold air/temperature.
Though I have a feeling intel already knows what happens... but might be keeping it a secret ! ;)
Bye, Skybuck.
