I’m currently in the last stages of getting my build ready. Now, I enjoy sleeping in the cold and will often let in cool winter air during the night, so I just want to check if sitting in a cold room for a whole night could possibly damage a high end pc. I tried looking it up, but most results were from many years ago, so I thought it good to check. Can’t be too careful with something very expensive. For refernce, I define cold as anything between 10 degrees C and maybe down to -2 degrees C just to be safe.

    Once upon a time I booted my laptop after I forgot it in the car over night. The classical spinning disk didn’t make it. Lost everything on the disk. Best is to acclimatize the computer to room temperature if you have a spinning disk. Haven’t tried with a SSD. I’m theory it should work (I believe). Sorry for no clear answer…
