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.
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.
