Tommorrow it's supposed to 100 with a h/i of 101. Before anyone hollers, it is sitting in a room on the wrong side of the house on the 2nd floor with no breeze, a/c; just a cieling fan and one in the window blowing out. My other system (q6600) is on the floor and does not have a problem so far. Anyone else having any heat problems? I don't buy computers, I build them!! ID: 1114806 ·

Hate to say this but I visited my Parents for Memorial day weekend. That Saturday we set an all time record for the area. Wichita falls Texas had 109 degrees F and my dads 3 digital thermometers recorded 113. Talk about not working outdoors. I could stay out for about 10 minutes before being drenched in sweat and needing to get indoors the 2 days after were a bit cooler but we had 30-50 mph winds the rest of the weekend.

Living in Florida, mid 90's are the average high with usually 75%-90% humidity. We've not had any rain in a while. The ground is dry, but the air is humid. Without A/C, we would all die here. I wish I lived near the coast. The sea breeze helps a lot. Can't wait until the afternoon storms begin. It's been an unusually dry spring/summer. It's probably the cap of hot air in the atmosphere, keeping the storms away. ID: 1115095 ·
