Minus the thing about pumping freezing air into a computer where it will condense and fry everything, is there a reason other than the noise why a big fan like this couldn’t effectively cool a computer?
when it goes below zero C outside, moisture content drops to 0%. with enough static pressure to keep the inside air out of the case it would be completely fine.
we had a long-running research project on this very thing at uni, they basically built a data center with no walls and ran it all through the winter. no damage, although they did have to periodically brush the snow off the servers so they didn’t get too warm due to airflow restrictions.
