Does heat effect the computer?

Question

Well with winter soon starting up we usually burn our woodstove in our basement. Our computer desk is about 3 feet away from the woodstove, the monitor is about 5, and the computer is about 7. Keep in mind how hot woodstoves get, and would you recomend moving it? I would just have it not in a corner like facing the corner. Tell me what you think. Thanks

Answer 1

Yes because Gallium is, an element, used in computers and the melting point is so low that it can melt in your hand; so, heat is bad for any computer. Lucky, as long as your computer does not exceed a certain temperature, in the 100's degrees F, then your computer will be okay.

Most computers already automatically shutdown when it reached a certain temperature, as a safeguard, before the computer meets its maximum temperature limits.

Stoves are extremely, incredibly hot that if air was not there, then your computer will be in ruins. That will tell you how important is to move your computer else where.
