Red face am I getting things too cold?
It's very cold outside(-10 celcius)...I have a 12 inch tube 80mm in diameter going outside. The card temp is reading 5c and the system temp -1c. just wondering if such cold temps can hurt anything? Thanks

I dont think it will hurt it. I think the main concern would be moisture from the outside air.

Wow! I wish that I had that issue!

As xchrisposix stated: Beware of condensation.

If you make your room -10ºC, then there won't be any condensation.

You could switch the airflow direction and have the intake on the rear and the exhaust on the front. Then you would have a super-cooled system and a room-heater all in one.

Room heater? That's not how it would work. It would just spit out air like 5C warmer than what it takes in..... not a very effecient heater.

I don't think I'll make my room -10c But I have been monitoring the humidity level. about 38% now... I also have an intake fan on the front of the case which is not piped to the outside, so I think that will actually lower the humidity of the air inside the case even when the outside air gets more humid. Does that sound reasonable?
