I think my server might not be a fan of the upcoming heatwave (feddit.org)

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.

Homessistant plot showing the temperature the last few days. It started at 30.8°C yesterday and has been rising since to now 31.5°C.

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.
