These electron chappies seem to want warming up just like the rest of us. Just so that they can scurry around faster, and give us more of...whatever
And subsequently those electronic components are sensitive little buggers aren't they![]()
Give 'em some wholly jumpers
Funny how there's no mention of knitted jumpers in Electronics 101
I don't think its meant to be so much the electrons hat don't like the cold. In fact they like it COOOOOLD.. get them cold enough and the way they move around/ conduct in the metal changes significantly.
Anyway.. Rather, its the chemical components like capacitors and the physical things like the opamps and transformers... The meterials they are made of takes a time to reach a steady temperature and stop expanding/contracting.
This is one of the theories in why you should leave a computer on all the time. When the chips cool down and heat up the silicon and copper inside expand and contract causing the pathways to break eventually.
