Can I put model toys on PC Case?

The answer is yes, you can put any toy in your PC case as long as the toy does not have any iron or steel components and is 100% plastic that does not melt. In fact, in a case you have a lot of empty space if you put  M-ATX in an ATX case . Because of that emptiness, the author himself really wants to put any toy model in that empty space.

But putting it is one thing, we need to consider a few more important factors to be able to safely place toy models in the PC. Specifically, TipsMake is talking about the temperature of the PC Case . In fact, placing a small model does not affect your airflow to the ventilation capacity, but if the number is large and closed, it is a completely different story.

Therefore, TipsMake often advises you not to leave any items that will slow down your computer, similar to dust, they will slow down your computer and reduce performance when your computer is too cramped but still try to cover the machine with toy models. However, if it is a passion, love for beauty, it is difficult for you to stop that, so TipsMake will guide you on how to place toys safely.

How to set the Model to be safe for the PC Case

Air circulation in a PC case should always be prioritized as much as possible to help your PC's performance reach its maximum as described by the manufacturer. The nature of a PC case is a fairly closed space, so if you block all the air flow, the components will definitely be affected and the temperature will be affected and there is a possibility that they will burn out and you will spend a lot of money to repair or replace.

So before placing any model, you should check carefully to see how your machine has ventilation, if your toy model is blocking the air flow, if so, find a smaller model or one with as many openings as possible so that at least your machine has air flow.

In general, as long as your computer is not too hot and is still at an ok level, you can still leave the figure comfortably. But if the temperature when playing games is too high, 80>90 degrees or higher, it is recommended that you give up or change to a more airy, spacious case. If you install custom heat dissipation configurations, it will not be too much of a problem because the temperature of your computer is extremely ok.

Is it possible to put the model on the graphics card ? The answer is yes, but the problem will be whether your graphics card has a backplate . Currently, graphics cards are almost equipped with a backplate, especially high-end graphics cards, but in common graphics cards, especially for ordinary computer users, it is not certain that your graphics card will be equipped with a backplate. Putting the model on the graphics card like that not only increases the risk of burning the card because the card's pcb is very hot, the backplate will protect the graphics card's circuit as well as prevent your model from being bumpy due to the graphics card's screws.

As mentioned above, placing models made of iron and steel or any conductive material is extremely dangerous, it not only damages your machine but can cause fire or explosion. Therefore, the best way is to place the model entirely in 100% plastic and use insulating tape to fix them if necessary. Stick the tape to avoid shaking that can damage your model or affect other components.

In addition, placing teddy bears is something to consider carefully, because teddy bears often create a lot of loose hairs that can be sucked in by the fan blades of your machine, causing damage to the components, which is extremely dangerous if not fixed early. Therefore, it is best to place seamless models without any hairs falling out.

Placing flower pots is also possible on the condition that the flowers must be flowers that can withstand high temperatures, do not need watering and many other things. However, the writer personally does not have a clear understanding of this issue, perhaps we will need a few people to verify, but note that products used by users during the process of damage caused by the user will not be warranted and repaired. So please always remember to be responsible for your placement.

Summary

Hopefully with the sharing of TipsMake , you will feel a little more secure in placing toy models and figures of your favorite idols. But TipsMake would like to remind you that not putting them in the machine will still be the best choice. You should also clean the machine regularly to avoid dust and dirt as well as help your machine to be less dusty. Anyway, everything has to have sacrifices, a little beauty is not dead so you are ok.
