I am starting to wonder why my server system is making SO much heat. I live in Norway, so outside temperature is around freezing, and my house I keep it around 25 degrees inside, except no heating in the server room. It got a roof extraction vent that is constantly sucking out air in that room, and I just had it inspected to be working perfectly fine.
Still its always over 30 degrees in that room, and the hot air is oozing from the server. Its just a consumer based drive and a couple of switches, plus a UPS, and its so warm in there.
Im getting afraid the high temperature can affect the hardware when its 30-35 degrees inside the server rack
Ignoring it. My lab is in the garage. It gets hot here in the summer, but not incredibly hot. And if heat shortens the life of my hardware, it’s all cheap; I’ll just buy a cheap replacement.
what’s your cheap hardware?
Love these little HP Elitedesk 800 G2 Mini I7. Can get them between $80-110, slap 32 GB of mem, and NVME drive, and have a nice and low power lab machine. Sips about 5-6 watts at idle.
