computer cooling
(OP)
I have a problem in the lab. I work on simulators and the major problem is the coputers cant work unless its 80 degrees or cooler. I need suggestions on how to take heat from the room or how to keep the room in a acceptable temp.
We have a big air conditoning unit and the room is 1,975 sq ft.

2. Upgrade the fans on the CPU heatsink and the case (exhaust) fans.
If that isn't enough build youself a duct system and take cool air straight from the AC outlet to the computers. Some ducting, some tape and a Dremal tool and you will be all set.
A room that is 80F should not be any problem, if everything is working.
If you are interested there are large communities on the net that spend a lot of time coming up with better computer cooling.

In simpler terms, Q=wCp dt
Knowing Q, Tin and Cp w= Q/(80-Tin)/Cp ----This is the mean flow and will have to be properly distribute to all exterior parts of the computer. ie, crowded or conjested spots may still not ge appropriate flow.
How will the air distribution take place is therfore another question.

additionally, what part of your system is overheating?
