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
I have 4 zone heating in my house.
The basement, where the server is, and sunroom are connected by a door I leave open. The server keeps it all at about 16 degrees with no heating on in those zones when its -4 degrees outside. I love it because I can pretend its free heating.
