I've tested this, a good heatsink will out do fridge any day. While a fridge can get cold, it's not designed to deal with large amounts of heat. Once it cools down, the insulation keeps the incoming heat down to only a few watts, a hopped up PC puts out 40 to 70+ watts, exceeding the fridge's capacity and causing it to turn into an oven.
