Too little humidity is a low overall risk, though it can increase the amount of static electricity. Static electricity can damage semiconductors and cause premature failure.
Too much humidity can certainly cause premature failure. Lets suppose the manufacturing process of the chips is not perfect and water can condense inside. That would shorten the life of of components and even cause chips to get hot and crack. That is how popcorn pops. There is moisture inside the kernels of corn and when combined with heat, the moisture expands and causes the popcorn kernels to explode. The same principle can apply to computer parts.
Of course, other things can happen from too much humidity. The case can rust, contacts can corrode, contacts might not form good connections, and electricity can take routes other than intended. Such things in turn can cause unexpected behavior, instability, or even complete failure.

What is the Effects of high humidity on human body?
High humidity makes it harder for the human body to cool down because sweat does not evaporate from the skin as easily. Also, high humidity can cause allergies to worsen.
How does air temperature effects the weather?
Air temperature is responsible for clouds and humidity content.
Computer system arranged to control Humidity level and Temperature in a Green house?
There are many computer systems that control the humidity level and temperature in your greenhouse. These are great for those plants that need a steady temperature.
Does humidity harm computers?
Yes high levels of humidity can cause a build up of static electricity and can there for cause problems with computer components. you can combat this with a humidifier.
What is the special effects in movies called or is it just special effects?
the computer made special effects are called CGI (computer generated imaginery) and the traditional optical or mechanical special effects are called special effects
What is Effect of relative humidity on water evaporation?
humidity effects the evaporation in the following ways: 1. In a closed container rate of evaporation will have a lesser value than usual.but there will be no decrease in the rate.
