The sensor is located on the case (not near the exhaust) of the server. With the structure of my appartment this is the only place I can realistically put my Server but sadly also the hottest place in my appartment.
The outside temperature is supposed to reach 36°C today so I expect the ambient temp for the server to rise another 2-3 degrees.
The hardware in your server should be able to handle 50-60 degrees for a long period of time, so going to 35 ambiant shouldn’t be a problem.
Exactly! My drives are all sitting at about 40°C but they’ll get up to 50°C at the hottest.
I run a fan because I have it in a wall mounted case but when I had it on a shelf it wasn’t actively cooled and never got higher than it does now.
It is in our basement though and it’s only ever gotten to 27°C down there a few times and that was without A/C.
