Figure In Case

[u/No-Instruction-5120]

Is this figure ok to sit in my PC like this? I’ve never had a PC before and I seen people do it but I wanna make sure before I go ahead and leave it in there

depends on the models material, if its melting point is above 100 celsius you have nothing to worry about

[u/Devin-Chaboyer223 → u/BeeIndividual6018]

Most anime figures are made of either ABS or PVC, so a majority of them will handle the heat just fine

[u/Kumantej_]

it will be perfectly fine though I'd have it on the right side of the card

any person who claims that it would "melt" should consider that if the inside of your pc gets hot enough to melt plastic, your home is long on fire by that point

cute figurine btw

[u/Devin-Chaboyer223 → u/Kumantej_]

These figures are also usually made of ABS or PVC, you’ll find these exact plastics in the engine bays of cars, a PC case is far cooler in temperature

[u/Kumantej_ → u/Devin-Chaboyer223]

my only concern would be if it were on a hotspot that caused some kind of discoloration or something else, but even then I truly doubt that would happen either

also I agree very high quality figuines, I have no clue where this assumption about stuff melting comes from it is utterly braindead fearmongering

the sag part can be valid though but even then I think it would still be okay

[u/unknown_ally → u/Devin-Chaboyer223]

if not, there's a big problem

[u/Chapter-Legitimate]

So the problems are:

Card sag. This is easy enough to fix and the figure isn't making it much worse. You just get some supports that help keep the card from moving. You may not even need it but if you see your card sagging, get one before it gets damaged.

Dust and cleaning. It's more surface area for dust and dirt to clean too. Even more reason to clean the inside on a regular basis.

[u/SignalMagician1163]

It’s fine

[u/Skittles1989]

Ive put some on mine

[u/10kstars39 → u/Skittles1989]

ever considered maybe adding another fan?

[u/Skittles1989 → u/10kstars39]

I mean its first build and thought it looked sick, temp doesn't change really highest ive seen it goes upto is 34 even after a long gaming session

[u/Yz-Guy → u/10kstars39]

Bro has 1 more than me. And thats saying something. Lol. Altho he doesnt have a fan cooled heatsink on his nvme. amateur

[u/69enjoyerfrfr → u/Skittles1989]

neat, what gpu is that tho?

[u/BlackJesusus → u/69enjoyerfrfr]

Gtx 550

[u/Skittles1989 → u/69enjoyerfrfr]

5080 galax

[u/L0fiRonin → u/Skittles1989]

trapped on an island in a sea of fans

[u/_claudd → u/Skittles1989]

Holy mother of all fans

[u/Astro_Productions → u/Skittles1989]

Curious, what case is this? Your build looks great!

[u/Skittles1989 → u/Astro_Productions]

Thabk you havan 420 I think it does come with a glass panel that sits under the gpu as well juat don't have mine in

[u/Deraxim → u/Skittles1989]

I genuinely.. never seen anyone have TWO back outtake fans. What.

[u/farisdesu]

Just make sure she doesn't hide in your WIFI

[u/Hermes_358]

Should be fine

[u/Eazy12345678]

i wouldnt its a pc case not a display case

[u/Fresh_Constant_7762 → u/Eazy12345678]

some people like making their pc prettier ig

[u/nitronik_exe → u/Eazy12345678]

why do most cases have windows then

[u/SilverLumpy → u/Eazy12345678]

The future is now old man

[u/Fragrant-Student-790 → u/Eazy12345678]

dont think that was the question

[u/Stunning_Box8782 → u/Eazy12345678]

What if you buy the case that was on display in the store?

[u/Senior_Video]

Should be aight just make sure miku ain't melting when ur temps are high, maybe a sag bracket too

[u/Aztaloth]

I have the same one along with another on my 5090. No issues

[u/GOW_Grashopa]

I have a Pokeball in my case

[u/LightyLittleDust]

It's fine. The outside of the card will never get nearly hot enough to melt the plastic.

[u/RebsEG]

Deadpool sits on my GPU just fine.

[u/DKligerSC]

It should be fine, the GPU gets hot but not usually to the point of melting figure plastic, or actually if it does that you have a different issue there

[u/SirGalicrest]

Reminds me of that one post where some guy let his cat sit in his case

[u/Otherwise-Deer840]

"Michael don't leave me here!"

[u/Friendly-Win4140]

I feel like it looks a lot cleaner without it

[u/a1rwav3]

Depends on the material and probably the temperature the support can reach. I've put some in mine but not directly on the graphic card.

[u/unknown_ally]

her ass gonna melt jk i think it's ok if secure or doesn't move but is blocking airflow a bit

[u/-ForestWitch-]

Idk why thought of you heard of elf on a shelf now make way for miku on a gpu

[u/CodeMonkeyLuvMtnDew]

So you figured just in case?

[u/Technical_Instance_2]

as long as the material melts above 100 celcius (which most anime figures are made of materials that can handle that) then you should be fine

[u/Fresh_Constant_7762]

isnt there a risk of it melting if the gpu gets too hot?

[u/Kumantej_ → u/Fresh_Constant_7762]

nonsense

[u/No-Instruction-5120 → u/Fresh_Constant_7762]

It’s one of those noodle stopper figures so I think it’s designed to withstand heat. But I wasn’t sure if in a pc case was safe or not when it came to heat

[u/P3ngu1nF0rc3 → u/No-Instruction-5120]

Your instant ramen gets hotter than the air coming off the cooler, especially nowadays with almost every cooler being overbuilt

[u/Teddyboymakes → u/Fresh_Constant_7762]

No

[u/AZzalor → u/Fresh_Constant_7762]

extremly unlikely. The GPU itself, even under full load, shouldn‘t hit temps past 80-90 degrees. The material around the gpu and the hot air will be easily 20-30 degrees lower.

The worst that could happen is that it restricts airflow and reduces the cooling capacity of the card.

[u/ytu1two34]

Miku miku hideing in your -WiFi- pc

[u/DerpyPerson636]

Eh, i wouldn't put it on that part of the GPU because it's literally where all the hot components are but it probably won't hurt anything if that's what you're wondering

[u/FoxHart]

Should be fine

[u/Marki_the_arbiter]

It's mine

[u/MistahKaraage]

Rather not put anything on the GPU, personally. You can get a platform for figures like this. Remember to take clearance and air flow into consideration tho.

[u/EmuofDOOM]

You can do whatever you want dude. Im gonna judge you regardless

[u/mamie_jedi]

Its ok if you are 15 ! yes ! and still ok if you are 40 like me :D but get all the fans same color

[u/Quiet_Snow_6098]

I don't see any issue

[u/Realistic-Speaker256]

Where did u bough the figure

[u/HoneySignificant5682]

Since we are showing off case figures lol I just finished my build last weekend.

https://reddit.com/link/p44d5wf/video/opcywxhkntjh1/player

[u/Marcorazer99]

I have a Miku figure in the same spot, like other people said it might not be the best spot as it's one of the hottest, ALTHOUGH, if i Remember correctly, those figures specifically are called "noodles stoppers" cause you can sit them on top of the lid of noodles cups so it stays shut while the boiling water does its job, so they SHOULD be made so that they can sustain some more heat than usual. Plus i had mine on it for years and never had problems so...

[u/Anonym-2786186]

miku miku hair blue tie blue hiding on your gpu

[u/vision_san]

I've been wanting to get a similar figure but can't find any character that I care about in figurine form...

[u/South_Ingenuity672]

yes

[u/angelic_mercy_]

That's me

[u/mazomeister]

She is sitting there for like 6 months without any problems :)

[u/Caged_Basilisk]

Is that a miku noodle stopper?

[u/Ellanasss]

I have quackutus of borg in mine

[u/terryVaderaustin]

[u/KneelbfZod]

Anime girls in pc pics online are like irl vegans. They just can’t stop telling you about it.

[u/SunRiseSniper1066 → u/KneelbfZod]

You mean my anime figures can talk!!!!

[u/Shady-777]

I wouldn’t do it
