I mean... Look at the setup, though.

Nobody is trying to be mean, it's just a pretty rough setup where thermals are concerned. And OP appears to be dismissing every joke about it and claiming it's not an issue.

Good luck, OP. Hope this is the hottest your place ever gets, in which case you might be alright. Just keep an eye on those temps since servers need to run very cool to avoid long term damage and wear and tear. Be extra cautious of your large array of HDD's. Those can get hot and people don't always think about that.

Edit: OP mentioned lower in the thread that they are pulling 300-350 watts from the wall. That is a lot of heat. Maybe they live in Alaska and keep their place at 55 degrees, though. We don't know... But for those looking on and considering their own setup, a lot of red flags are here for those who have higher temps in their homes.

I keep my place at 74, and basically have a per room heat pump to never have the temp be an issue even on a 108 day. I've been running the setup for over two years now and have monitored thermals the whole time and have never had an issue. I understand the concern, and had the same concerns at first too, but the results don't lie. It's just very well tuned for it's environment
