It is indeed, possible for nearly any object to be colder than the environment which is is in, under the right circumstances. Key words under the right circumstances.

The laws of thermodynamics would like to disagree with you.

A fridge uses a heat exchange system, which will need to get rid of excessive heat elsewhere somehow. Without such a system what you state is plainly impossible.

That's rather meaningless as cooling a fridge has nothing to do with air cooling of a standard CPU heatsink. They cool by different means.
The fact that a fridge can keep its content at temps below its surroundings does not imply your BIOS readings must therefor be correct.

In normal cases heatsinks that are actively assisted by a fan and are usually slightly if not well above ambient temperature. But if the cooling and airflow is done efficectively enough, you can make components cooler than ambient if not equal.

also no i have never computered in my life
am not no how heatsink heat

am learn yesterday

am not no how to fridge, i use cooler since i was tiny girl

am have alienwaer labtob
(That was a joke, I have nothing agaisnt any of you if you use/support Alienware)

I'm not sure who you are trying to fool here...except maybe yourself.

The BIOS's temperature monitoring system is accurate, as due to a usual lack of exra cash to spend, I have to rely on finger touch to determine the accuracy of a temperature monitor.

Under full load for 20 minutes, due to sufficient cooling and low power drawing, the CPU heatsink temperature is mostly lower than the room it resides in, if not equal.

The power supply yields identical results, and barely generates heat ever.

You're not measuring lower heatsink temps due to efficient cooling, but due to false readings.
It's common to find the BIOS temps not being accurate at all.

I think it's kinda nasty if CPU temps turn out to be much higher than measured temps 😵

PSUs always create heat, none are 100% efficient (the newer ones are usually more efficient though).

Whats missing in your collections?

Yeah I guess I somehow got confused and percieved my room as being warmer than the system.
As for the power supply barely creating heat, that's probably due to a low amount of power being used from it.
