I would think putting it in the freezer would be bad as you would almost be gaurenteed condensation and that for sure would fuck up the whole system. Fridge is a great idea tho

well, mabey they wouldnt overheat all the time if the fan wasnt set for low just so that they can be super quiet.
a mac is a pc, running a different operating system and spraypainted. dont fool yourself
Mac antivirus also exists for a reason

Another neat Quick trick for tech’s to save data is a ziplock and canned air, turn the canned air upside down with hard drive in the ziplock and spray the hardrive with the canned air thus freezing the hard drive takes about 45 secs. ^^

Remove the existing hard drive and put an SSD (solid state drive)and boot it in the fridge and transfer OS to SSD. Then remove the old HD.

Hi, stumbled here from New York!
I once had an xbox which overheated all the time. So I put it in a bag and into the freezer, and it started to work perfectly

It’s a great tip, and will definitely help if you have a device that overheats.

That’s what happens when you buy an iToy instead of a real computer.

using the freezer works better than the fridge
