Best Answer

For the most part, today's integrated circuits will start to exhibit significant issues when their internal temperature rises about 80 degrees Centigrade, or if they are subjected to freezing temperatures below -15 C.

However, the exact thermal profile is highly dependent on the specific component. So much so, that the above generalization is likely only valid for today's Desktop systems.

Why computer room should be cooled?

Colmputers components generate a lot of heat (up to 70oC or more). Without adequate air conditioning a computer may overheat - causing it to fail.

What do you do after finding out that overheating is the problem in your computer system?

Note: If System is under warranty we recommend contacting your manufacturer. If not then you can try these steps to lower down the processor temperature If your computer is overheating and it was recently built, the following tips may resolve your issue: 1. Move your computer to the coolest place of your house. You may choose to lower the temperature of the room instead by cranking up the air conditioning. Operate the computer and see if the same problem appears. If it doesn't, then that is a fair indication that the issue was due to overheating . 2. Check for dust. Remove the computer's outer cover and see if dust has built up. Dust can reduce the airflow, it can slow down the fans or other mechanical components it gets into, or it can act as an insulator causing heat to increase. Use air pressure to remove the dust. 3. Determine if you have components that are set to overwork. If you assembled the computer yourself, you may have adjusted certain components to higher settings for boosting their performance. If you have a device working at a higher voltage or higher clock cycles, lower down its setting or remove it altogether, if possible. 4. Inspect the temperature around the components that use the most power. These are, the CPU, the graphics processor, the power supply and the hard drives. Use your hand to assess the ambient temperature. It shouldn't be more than 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the room's temperature, while the computer is running. You can tape temperature sensors bought from a computer store, if unsure. Change the placement of the components or the fans to improve the airflow, if you found components blocking the air intake. 5. Buy and install a cooling fan. Choose a fan that can lower temperature of your motherboard by as much as 5 degrees Celsius. 6. Use liquid cooling as an alternative to a cooling fan. GuruAid

When a computer shorts out do all the components die too?

It depends. If the whole computer has been immersed in liquid, pitch it. Individual components such as daughter boards, hard drives, the power supply, the motherboard and memory can all fail on their own. These can all be replaced individually, but may not be worth it.
