To begin with, unless you are using a refrigerator-type cpu cooler the temperature of your cpu cannot be less than the ambient temperature
This is not true - moving air from a fan carries heat away more effectively than static air, so the processor can be several degrees below the ambient temperature, provided the fan and heatsink are reasonably clean. This is exactly why people use room fans in hot weather and we are given a "wind chill" factor in winter weather reports.
No, this is absolutely wrong. Fans work with people because we perspire, we evaporate water to cool ourselves. With moving air, that evaporation is faster and we cool more. As for the wind chill, see the wikipedia definition (just one easy to find definition): «Wind-chill or windchill, (popularly wind chill factor) is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to the flow of air.» So, if outside temp is 10C and windchill is -10C, and you mesure the temperatures of any objects outside, they will be at 10, not -10. Water will not freeze. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
