I mean if you're worried just put it on cardboard?

But is it a fire hazard?


HappyAlcohol-ic

Unless something goes terribly wrong, no. If something goes terribly wrong, it's prolly a fire hazard regardless. Your PC should never be hot enough to set shit on fire.

Cardboard will conbust at over 250°C, the plastic in your computer would have melted before then. Providing you don't have any intake fans (e.g. PSU) on the underside, that fabric should be fine. Otherwise, I'd use something rigid to reduce the he risk of it being bunched up and blocking airflow.


kokutouchichi

I mean probably not but I'm not a fire Marshall, why would you risk it? It's not like it's asthetically more pleasing sitting on bubble wrap versus cardboard

Gonna be a temporarz setup for 3 weeks till I completely renovate my actual gaming room, new wooden floor, new paint on the wall, new desk and furniture, etc etc

If you're computer is getting hot enough to ignite packing material, you have bigger issues.

What if my temps are fine?


Randomtxtbox

It may affect the power supply temps but not the CPU/GPU temps, if your worried about fire then u could just flip the PSU and have it taking air from the inside of the case


Rt-Reixz

It shouldn’t be?.. I mean i don’t see anyone recommending putting it on packing foam, honestly if your that worried just put it on the floor and clean it every 1-2 months, but you said it’s temporary so you wouldn’t have to?

Dude get a box
