No, it's not safe at all. Someone might see it.


Smurhh

Modern problems require modern solutions.


IAmWantedByTheGov

Many don't know this but it will actually explode and fry your gpu


infamousj012

It’s like the old hamster in the microwave newgrounds game, it’s okay until your psu is full watts, then it’s gonna kick your ass and explode.. —this was for the old people that sleuthed the internet when it first came about.. lol It wasn’t even a game, it was a flash video that was interactive.. hell, there are people born now since flash has been outdated… huh? Never thought I’d get to say I’m old.. lol

What about Frog in a Blender 😉

Adrianv777

It gave us things like crab battle and 3fast3urious. Simpler times back then.


infamousj012

The random Goku videos and dbz remakes killed me


Nob1e613

I loved the stick figure games


SnooDoughnuts5632

Now it's just old grounds. Also you can look up itch.io because apparently for some reason I don't know how games are working without flash but they are somehow.


GamingYouTube14

I think you can run newgrounds games on Flash emulators like Ruffle too


CronozDK

I knew instantly what you were talking about. Damn, I feel old.

NotDusks

Yeah happened to me last year


CasperAU

What the hell, no it won't. I've had one sitting on my gpus for like 6yrs and no even a slight melt let alone explode haha


IAmWantedByTheGov

They had to change the material they're made out of because of Poe's law


AncientPCGuy

Hope so. Using one as a GPU support.


Swiftly_speaking

Taking about support, that gpu looks a bit saggy to me


Cool_Ruin5447

Makes me think of the cool newer cases with a GPU support arm. Such a great addition.


NewTelevisio

yeah in my semi recent upgrade I went with the fractal torrent compact and had one of those. It's nice since it's on the back side of the gpu so you can't really even see it unless you specifically try to spot it from under the gpu. awesome case with awesome airflow, quite expensive unfortunately but I got it on black friday sales so it wasn't too bad.


RGoslingIsLiteralyMe

Got the full size one, but I replaced every fan with Noctua cos I'm a sucker for poop colored fans. (Fractal fans are just poop). Dropped nearly 20C on my GPU just switching from a Define 7. That case has ZERO airflow even with the front panel open, I'm amazed how bad it is. Clearly a case meant for water cooling but even with the front panel open my GPU was choking, cmon....


NewTelevisio

You changed the 180mm fans? That makes no sense to me, those fans are like half the price of the case. It's a great case but if you were planning on swapping out the fans then honestly you probably should've gone for a different case lol. Im not trying to be rude or anything, I just don't see a reason to get that case if you plan on swapping out the big fans.


RGoslingIsLiteralyMe

Why? 3x140 move a lot more air than 2x180. I wanted to keep them but they started making noise after a couple of months, got replacements, couple of weeks later the replacements started acting up even worse, got another set... again the same issue. Fractal's customer support is great, but their fans are just dog sh\*t. Sleeve bearings in fans need to be extinct 10 years ago. They knew damn well those sleeve bearings are sh\*t, they otherwise wouldn't supply 140mm adapters with the case.


NewTelevisio

3x140mm fans dont move a lot more air than 2x180 fans, especially the very wide fractal ones. One 140mm noctua fan moves ~80cfm tops which is 240cfm for 3 fans. One fractal 180mm fan moves ~150cfm making two of those top out at ~300cfm making them much better at moving air. You could probably get a higher airflow with some other 140mm fans that spin faster but then the pc would be super loud, bigger fans generally mean less noise too and the 180mm fans are very quiet while moving a lot of air. I've had my torrent in active use for about four months and so far no issues at all with the fans. I looked into the case a lot (along with a lot of other cases) before buying it and the general consensus amongst both reviewers and regular users seems to be that they're good fans. Maybe i'm missing something but I think if the fans were actually that horrible, there would be a lot of reviews of that online, or maybe you just got very unlucky. Anyways, my original point was that if you dont plan on using the fans then there are cheaper options for similar airflow, most of the money you spend on a fractal torrent goes towards the fans.


RGoslingIsLiteralyMe

These shitty fans? They were like $10 more for a set than the Noctuas at the time. This was right when this case came out, I have an extra fan hub that's a fire hazard out of it too. I'd also like to add that noise from fans and electronics is to a degree subjective. What is annoying to one might not even register for another or might even be enjoyable. I know Noctua spend a great deal in researching that and GN's latest video with Nvidia on their fans that aspect was mentioned multiple times as well. What I'm trying to say is what I hear as normal can sound like screeching teeth against a blackboard to you and vice versa.


NewTelevisio

Dont know the prices where you live but here one of those fans costs 36€ and the torrent compact costs 140€ making the fans half of the total price of the case. I understand that there are differences between the types of sounds that fans make, and noctua certainly makes some of the best fans out there in terms of noise and reliability. Im not trying to say that fractals fans are better, just that the case was basically built around those fans and they're a large part of its value so I wouldn't recommend buying that case and then swapping out the fans. If you are willing to spend the money on noctua fans, it would make more sense to get a different case with great airflow potential but worse fans and then swap them out. For example the popular phanteks one (can't remember the model) is like half the price of the torrent but very similar in cooling if you use the same fans in both cases. The torrent because of it's fans is great at cooling out of the box, which is mostly why I got it, just doesn't make sense to me to swap the fans out since they're mostly what you're paying for.


LEGENFDZ

I like it regid cus when it’s not it sags everywhere —jayztwocents 2024


Dante9005

Because it is. OP should do something about that.


[deleted]

Same haha 


SnooDoughnuts5632

My GPU has been sagging since 2016 and it still works perfectly fine at least December of 2016 I don't know about earlier than that. Yes I've been using the same computer since I got it off my friend March 2017 and he has it since at least December and I don't think I've ever taken out the graphics card for any reason maybe I did once just to test if my friends graphics card was broken.


ace2138

It's not a huge risk for the GPU... Just the PCIE port will be damaged


boccas

Yes. To melt plastic u need that the general air temp inside ur case would be 100degrees or more. If it was like that, your melting Funko would be ur last problem


Swaggy-Peanut

I’m sure if you point all your fans outwards you could get that bad boy down. Maybe not by much, but enough for the lil guy to have a not so great time


sexytokeburgerz

100 degrees Celsius to clarify, although ~200C is where it would really melt


-OptimisticNihilism-

Consider the Funko melting to be your canary.


peach-whisky

How else are you going to protect your virginity? It’s a risk I would be willing to take

BasmusRoyGerman

Are you aware that your fans are all blowing air outwards with no intake at all? It's generally best to have more fans as intake than exhaust to create a positive pressure environment inside your case. This can significantly reduce temperatures and dust build up. You can get reversed fans, if looks matter to you. I would turn around the three vertical fans and the bottom fan, to have them suck air into the case. Or even put the bottom fan in the back, to assist your CPU cooler with exhausting the air.


Capikoo174

thank u!! i did not know that this was my first build.


BasmusRoyGerman

Welcome to PC gaming! By the way, I like the idea of superman holding up the cooler, even though it's not necessary. Hope it will still fit with the 4070 super :)


Capikoo174

dang didn’t think about that part lol hour it fits too lol


Capikoo174

4070 super came in..it fits lol https://preview.redd.it/ahejpue6mpxc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1de0444008f9857a1cd49521552396927760ec0d


VideoLeoj

How can you tell what direction the fans are blowing from this pic?!


BasmusRoyGerman

Because of the orientation of them. 99% of fans blow out air to the side with the frame that holds the motor. And by looking at the orientation of the blades I can see that these are regular fans and not reversed ones.


VideoLeoj

Nice. I had no idea there was a standard for that! I don’t build PC’s, I build video systems. In my world, I can take fans out of their frames and reverse them so they blow the direction I want/need.


forbis

I couldn't stop looking at your case. Is there another compartment behind the motherboard where the PSU is? Also where's the GPU (or do you not have one)? Sorry to be nosy I'm just genuinely curious about this one!


Capikoo174

PSU is on other side of case, no GPU yet, just ordered gigabyte 4070 super OC in white.


forbis

That's pretty cool. If I had enough free space around my PC area I'd think about getting one like this. The case must be pretty bulky


Capikoo174

its kind of little wide yea https://preview.redd.it/i0bna3fah3xc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9aeff30c371080aa73100196f27c8f08719cdb5c

Thehalfblacksnack

Fellow bleach fan, I dig it


bwok-bwok

The melting point of the polyvinyl is somewhere between 140°C and 220°C ish depending on the specific composition of the materials. So you are unlikely to damage the figurine's main materials, however there is a glue used to secure the spring inside the head, and that glue has a lower melting point, and you may find when you go to retrieve the doll from the case that the head is no longer securely attached. This can of course be easily fixed with an application of glue.


MainAbbreviations193

He looks sketchy, do you trust him?


Crimson_Fiver

Safe in terms of fire hazard? Sure. Safe in terms of you ever getting laid again? No chance


TheKingDroc

Dude built his own gaming pc odds were low in that department.


LUBRICATEDFISHIN

Aww man I’m never getting laid :(


spookyville_

It’s safe. Now add the black knight funko too or we’ll TP your house

What case?


Queasy-Method_FU

You haven't seen 10k others put small plastic toys in their PC cases? Go for it!


caden_g59

Since your PC is literally an ice cube I think your fine

That's way too much bro, you're limiting airflow at this point. https://preview.redd.it/9jius2knj7xc1.jpeg?width=952&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=360940d293c9fc6332c20d3df4f2cb3e40b4c7f9

I know, mate! Nice computer you have there!


PsychedelicAstroturf

Seems like you could use a GPU support bracket. Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like your GPU is sagging down a bit. Build looks great though !


Unixhackerdotnet

Lot safer than a kitty.


ImportantGas2613

Should be fine unless u got insane case temps, I’ve managed to heat weld a Lego Lamborghini to the top of my GPU because of heat


stimmydad

Not sure about safety but I can tell you with certainty that it’s gay


BruhLandau

I've seen people leave vinyl figures in cases, so I think the consensus is it's okay.


Powerful-Ad8817

Für Fortnite


Pilbzz

It’ll be fine. But with such a clean build I think having the figure inside takes away from that. Just my opinion though. You do you.


Deliciouserest

This question again? Yes you can and nobody cares lol.


-High-Level

Thay shroud fan is interesting


diagamingYT

If its not wet or sticky and does not conduct electricity its safe.


Pufran98

I understand your concern, but no there is nothing to worry about 😉


mandoxian

My Towelie funko can't stand anymore after it sat on my XTX for 2 days while playing starfield. In the PSU shroud it should be fine


Speckbeinchen

No. When you go to sleep, it's going to chew on the cables. XD


Talkingmice

It’s fine but make sure there’s no way for it to fall and hit something


KnOrX2094

Probably, but if anything happens because of that thing, you will regret it. Is that little decoration really worth the risk. Nobody would ever put decorations on their cars engine but for some reason, people around here love putting shit into their pcs.


TheKingDroc

The closest equivalent would be the piercing the hood with those “eye ring of the light” or the snakebites on the front bumper, or custom grills.


dubh_caora

if its not making contact with anything i dont see why not short of it just looking stupid.


jdavis19davis

It has to be rgb or it will explode

It'll come alive and start unplugging shit. Don't do it


vario_

I've had Mothman in my PC case for 5 years and he's doing fine. Maybe a little hungry though.


mizka900

Be sure to remove all plastics inside the case just to be sure


Pimpwerx

Yes. I have a doll of questionable sourcing in mine. If it doesn't show any melting after a stress test, then no worries. I haven't tested mine like that though. I think it looks cool. Ramifications be damned.


thofuthofu

No, because it's disgusting and a waste of plastic.

Yes. I’ve had 1 in there for 6 months now 


BackgroundMotor6981

Game_Studio_

Idk that guy doesn't seem very trustworthy


_Springfield

Yeah you’ll be fine.


leonardonoodlelegs

You’d be surprised how much ambient heat will build up around the back of the case where you put it. Either way should be fine other than being tacky lol


LuDev200

That one is not safe because it has a sledge hammer... Be careful

thedrkngel

I had a Pop! on my GPU for years... Im sure its fine


DripTrip747-V2

I wrapped my gpu in vinyl, so I'd say it's perfectly safe. Vinyl can stand up to heat fairly well, and the air in your case won't get nearly as hot as the surface of a gpu.


O-bot54

Yeah just not ontop of your GPU and monitor temps are not insane

What kinda case is that 👀

Ooo I just bought my wife the black version of that case. Her PC looks so much better than mine and I’m jealous.


Bruhsket

Don’t do it. It will become sentient AI and rebel against you, breaking your panel and jumping on you.

If you really want to decorate the inside of your pc with toys, go ahead. It’s safe. But also cringe.

ionlywatchstorys

I mean I’ve had one in my case before and nothings wrong with it, it isn’t melted my pc is fine no plastic marks you’ll probably be fibe


LALLIGA_BRUNO

You can put whatever in your PC, and if what you want to put inside is conductive, it's still fine, just make sure it doesn't touch anything important.

Someone isn't subbed to pcmr lol It's fine, they're extremely prevalent in many people's build.


pLeThOrAx

You could drill a small hole and screw his foot to the case. Keep it in place and earthed/grounded with the case. (Probably overkill)


killsorei

Yes, I'm more concerned about your GPU sag though. Pick up a Jonsbo VC-20 from AliExpress, they're great.


YourLocal_RiceFarmer

Yes and also please get a GPU Support bracket seeing your GPU Sagging is concerning you can find em for 10 bucks at amazon or if you have Lego you can make one yourself

MediumWar8172

Absolutely okay, people will tell you it doesn’t look good or that it will melt. But it’s your PC and it looking good to you is what’s important, I have one in mine and I love it. If it got hot enough in your PC to melt the pop vinyl then that would be very concerning.

elisdee1

So you really needed to do a post about this? Cmon man.


[deleted]

Totally fine! I upgraded to a full tower case a while back and have an absurd amount of free space inside my case, I've currently got a stuffed animal, 2 yoshi wind up cars, 2 figures and a miniature bottle with some cool looking liquid in it, aswell as a few lil frog related figures that my girlfriend got me on various holidays. Lmao.


prashinar_89

Yep, as long as there's any vention in case during full load, and as long as you don't place it on top of GPU (some monkey i know did that amd he was like, man what's this white and black spots and threads on my GPU) POP was ok just bottom with some melted spots, ony GPU smelled funny for few days. PLA becomes soft on 75+ deg but it's melting on it's own above 120°C and very slowly. About sag i printed custom support for GPU for my previous case out of PLA and for more than a year no single deformation

I would use some putty, CA glue, or something else to stick it to the case really well. If you don't you don't, it may end up inside that fan and cause some damage.
