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

How well do you function in a 90F room? Your CPU can probably survive
it but how about you. My recommendation is a Sears Plasmaire Air
Conditioner. The Plasmaire's are very quiet. Make sure you get the
Plasmaire, the cheaper ones are much nosier.

No need, just get a fan...

I already have a small fan. It blows at the computers and me.

A fan will not lower the temperature in the room.

Very true if the room is hot like 90F degrees. It just blowing hot air. It won't help
if outside is hotter.

Fans always raise the temperature; they never lower it. And if there
are people in the room, fans will also raise the humidity, which can
rapidly create a vicious circle of heating.

Hmm, I didn't know fans raise temperatures like that. Is that only when when the
temperature is really high? Or does that happen like in 80 degrees(F) area?

Its just basic physics. What power is used by the fan has
to end up in the air temp. There's nowhere else for it to go.

Corse its a relatively minor effect.

Nope, it happens at all temps.

Or does that happen like in 80 degrees(F) area?

All temps.

Yes.

Nope. In spades with that 'rapidly' claim.

Its just basic physics, the power that is used by the fan motor
has to end up in the air temp, there is nowhere else for it to go.

It _always_ happens. It's physics. The moving vanes of the fan and
the motor add heat to the air as it passes through the fan. The
increase is slow but continuous. The temperature _never_ drops when a
fan is running; it never even stays the same. It always rises.

Additionally, the only reason a fan feels cool is that it accelerates
evaporation of your sweat. Unfortunately, this evaporating water also
adds to the humidity in the room, making it necessary to sweat more
and more just to keep cool. Eventually it stops working all together.

Above 85° F or so, fans are often a waste of time, as they just can't
help sweating enough to make much of a difference. It depends on the
relative humidity, though.

The movement of the fan also heats the air.

One important thing to remember is that fans never lower the air
temperature. This is critical for PCs. It means that if the air
temperature is 90° F, no fan, no matter how powerful, will be able to
get the PC below 90° F.
