No, unless you have some mechanism to remove the heat from your room, the fans will actually raise the temperature, as the electrical energy they consume is converted into heat.

True story: My father was an appliance repairman, specializing in refrigeration systems. One hot summer he was called to a motel room to service an air conditioner. He found a window mount air conditioner sitting in the middle of the room and the occupants wondering why the place was getting warmer.

(This post is the first time I can recall offhand that my senior year thermodynamics class has been pertinent to my 40-year computer engineering career.)
