Drifter: Running a computer in a hot and humid environment?
I am planning on putting a desktop computer in a small (10′ by 10′) room. The room has about 60% humidity and is usually 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.8 degrees Celsius). These numbers are strictly regulated and hardly vary at all. I was wondering if running the computer in an environment like this would cause it to break or lose performance? Is there anything that could be done to the computer to prepare it for the environment such as adding an extra fan or putting packets of Desiccant or silica gel in the chamber?

Answer by sjwcool_2000actually you can look up the specs in the manual for the motherboard and the power supply but, most are designed to withstand much more than that!
you can monitor the computers core temperature through several gadgets or apps but,
most likely you are completely fine. my computer is rated to work in 109 degrees 80% humidity.
this is one software you can use to monitor the temp
