Does anyone use their computers under 100% stress in a 90F degrees environment?

Default Does anyone use their computers under 100% stress in a 90F degrees environment?

Hello.

I am just wondering when you guys build computers. Are you able to keep the computers
stable and not breaking (e.g., a SeaSonic PSU overheated) in a room that is about 90
degrees(F) during heat waves with no air conditions? Computers would be crunching big time
like gaming in this heat. No fancy water cooling setups in the computer cases and no opened
cases either.

I am just wondering and trying to determine what's the best way to keep my boxes stable in
a very hot room (almost like heated indoor garages). In the past, I have seen my computer's
Athlon 64 3200+ (754) CPU go over 160F degrees and ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard go over
120F degrees.

Thank you in advance.


90 F is 32 C. These temperatures are resonably common in tropical
countries (e.g. Malaysia) and many people there don't use aircons in
their homes. They do have fans of course so there is an inroom airflow.
However I suspect this doesn't make that much difference for the case
temp. Their computers survive. So so should yours... Just make sure
your CPU fan is working and your preferbly have at least one
ventilation fan and one blowing fan in your comp.

N.B. Some companies (Intel is one I recall), rather bizzarrely suggest
25 C or so maximum ambient temperatures for their products. These
companies are therefore rather bizzarrely suggesting that you should
not run your comp in many countries without an airconditioned room.
