I think my server might not be a fan of the upcoming heatwave
-
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.
Guess it might be benefitting from fans though

My server has also not been liking the heat over the past month
Though in my case it's because drive 3 is sitting in a slot that is possibly not getting enough airflow. It's consistently running a bit hotter than the other drives in the system.
I really should get around to moving it to a different slot.
Been happening to me as well. And my basement is more cool than my 1st and 2nd floor.

My server is in a closet without ventilation. You will probably be fine.

My Pi usually runs at ~ 40 Degrees Celsius. It doesn’t like this either.
My passiv cooled Pi5 (case as radiator) with HA is at 44°C (room is at 33°C). Idk how hot it gets on a regular basis, I just enabled the system monitor integration right now.
I mean with CPU temps, thermal throttling starts usually at 80°C, so nothing to worry.

31.5°C also is just a bit slower at cooling, and computer devices easily reach 95°C without any troubles.
Hard drives don't really like high temperatures for extended periods of time. Google did some research on this way back when. Failure rates start going up at an average temperature of 35 °C and become significantly higher if the HDD is operated beyond 40°C for much of its life. That's HDD temperature, not ambient.
The same applies to low temperatures. The ideal temperature range seems to be between 20 °C and 35 °C.
Mind you, we're talking "going from a 5% AFR to a 15% AFR for drives that saw constant heavy use in a datacenter for three years". Your regular home server with a modest I/O load is probably going to see much less in terms of HDD wear. Still, heat amplifies that wear.
I'm not too concerned myself despite the fact that my server's HDD temps are all somewhere between 41 and 44. At 30 °C ambient there's not much better I can do and the HDDs spend most of their time idling anyway.

This is less about the increase during the last 24 hours and more about the current temp+expected increase.
I’ll make you feel better: here’s a server of mine that lives in a hot garage. Sorry for the freedom units but it peaks at about 55C.

If that's the flur just imagine how high the cerling is

This is the temperature right now (8:50am local time), I will comment again at 3:00pm xd Normally the ambient temperature here is over 40°C.

no issues with temps here in the UK, but the fans don't sound happy....

Not worrying temps for most stuff. If you have mechanical HDDs you may want to check those specifically.

Oh lordy, please tell me it’s at least not humid in there?

For the rack in the closet, I cut a 4" duct off the ac, and piped it into the top of the closet. For one of my computers, it seemed to always run hot, so I bought two 6" box fans and mounted one over each of the two CPU. I have a little gadget that comes with Open Hardware Monitor so I can keep an eye on it. Currently running 100 freedom degrees, but it will fluctuate +/- 10 degrees depending on load. The only downside is they are a bit noisy, not extremely, but you can hear them buzzing away keeping shit cool so I don't complain much and just turn the music up. LOL

Nah, pump the humidity. Free sauna!

Flur means hallway (it is at the ceiling)

How is the cpu below ambient temperature?

A little bit late, but here it is.

Had the AC on in my room. It's off since morning.

20F isn't much of a fluctuation anyway.

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.

My fileserver regularly 'enjoys' 45-50c during the day when I'm not home in summer.
Aircon isn't cheap to run, so everythings getting fried while I'm at work (getting fried since we don't have AC at work)
