Re: Keeping node0 cool...

[Vargster <vargster@xxxxxxxxx>]

The kit isn't in a rack it's on a pair of fitted shelves. The
temperature at
ground level (where the door been trimmed to left air enter freely) is
normally around 15'C, but near the ceiling (inside the cupboard) it's over
35'C, the server was reporting the HDD was over 50'C with the mobo not far
behind. The shelves have an inch+ gap away from the back wall, and
8-10" gap
from the door, so there should be enough space for air movement (or so I
thought).
On Martyns recommendation I've bid on a 4" fan off Ebay, I just hope
it's
not too noisey... swmbo would not be pleased...
