Hi everyone. I have a question. Im using my pc like this and ım afraid about moisture. I don't have a pc case. Can moisture damage my hardware ? Thanks.

Moisture? Not unless you spill or spray something on it. Kids, cats, errant elbow, those can definitely break something.

This is okay for testing stuff, but I don't recommend for long-term use. Also, you need some airflow across the CPU and surrounding area to keep the stuff on the mobo cool. A case helps channel air into those areas. Now, it seems you have none.

Im not testing just i dont have a pc case but ı don't have any problems about temperature. I stress tested and max values are;
mobo 32
cpu 63
gpu 60
after this values, am ı need a case ? If its not harmful for my hardware then i don't want to buy a case im poor 🙁
Also, Im overclocked to 4.1 ghz.

As long as it stays cool, technically it will be fine. Just make sure no foreign objects (like kids, cats, and the aforementioned elbows) don't get added to the mix.

You can get an decent cheap case for $20-30. I'd still recommend one

funny.

has enough money to buy the $70 corsair proteus mouse + corsair mousepad + asus strix gpu, cannot buy a $15-20 pc case.

while possible to run it like that if you keep it dust free and avoid any accidents its quite a large risk.
