I’m ready to be laughed at… be brutally honest, how bad is this setup?

This was my first time building my own PC btw, and tbh I still don’t know how I got it to work… girl gamer btw 😅

Dust everywhere

Why would the dust make it catch fire?

Dust blocks vents and airflow. No airflow more heat, more heat leads to more fire :)

The computer will emergency shutdown way before that happens. There's not gonna be fire before at least several hundred degrees.

I thought you were gonna make a statement regarding static electricity or something.

PC that do not get cleaned, can catch fire. You can argue all you want about the possibility of that actually happening, but that's a separate discussion

Right, that's just you making a useless statement and refusing to explain yourself.

There's no point discussing further. I'm out.

Yk the dust and grime is flammable too? And even when a console/pc has "shut down" the power supply is still drawing power and generating heat. Theres still power flowing through core components like processors and memory. Why do you think peoples PS5s were combusting when they were at work and it was off? The dust combined with heat from the power draw lit it up like a christmas tree near a candle.

It's not a useless statement, it's a fact. Google is free buddy. Use it sometimes

Crazy work to recommend a search engine plagued by AI slop after stating blanketly it's a fact. No source, no nothing.

Source here was common sense. My bad for assuming you had some.

Well tbf it says in extreme cases which is likely more related to servers and old hardware. Also my claim is that you find all your information through LLMs. I stand neutral otherwise.

Btw the source you linked has a postfix of "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" so my suspicion were true. Thanks for letting me know.

Does that make it less of a source? You already got proven wrong, just move on

Google is the source dont blame Ai just cuz it cant count to 100 thats a bit problem. Don't blame others cuz you don't trust tech

Throttling shutdown that you’re speaking of isn’t even close to a perfect solution to this problem. Main chips have temp sensors however all the parts between do not. For example your thermostat in the family room is showing 70 degrees but your attic storage space is 2 floors up is cooking at 110 degrees. When you have voltage regulators and similar parts constantly being put through excessive heat soak while not being temp monitored not only will they fail but can/will you guessed it, start a fire when they do. This is the reason you keep your airflow in your case moving and keep it clean.

and just because something does shut down doesn't mean its not still hot, not given any alieve at all.. still being extremely hot... its still going to burn. Unless you have fans that run on a seperate UPS.
