this one is simple: is the wind chill factor an actual factor or is it only perceived by humans?

It is perceived not only humans. Try to chill your processor without wind (fan) - what happens then?

Water cooling is very efficient.

look, i was just wondering how my car can give an accurate reading of the outside temperature while in motion
Wind chill factor is a measure of how cold it feels outside when wind is factored in with the actual air temperature. It takes into account the rate at which heat is lost from the human body when exposed to wind and cold temperatures.
Wind chill factor is a perceived phenomenon, as it is a measure of how cold it feels to humans, rather than an actual physical measurement. However, it is based on scientific principles and can help us understand and prepare for the effects of cold weather.
Wind chill factor is calculated using a formula that takes into account air temperature and wind speed. The formula was developed by the National Weather Service and is based on the rate at which heat is lost from exposed skin when exposed to wind and cold temperatures.
No, wind chill factor only affects living beings with skin that is exposed to the elements. Non-living objects, such as buildings or vehicles, do not experience wind chill factor.
Wind chill factor can make it feel colder than the actual air temperature, which can increase the risk of hypothermia and frostbite. It can also cause discomfort and make it more difficult for the body to maintain a steady internal temperature.
