So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

A graph labeled "CPU Overview". There's ring graph like a speedometer saying "3% average usage" which suggests I'm only using about 3 percent of my CPUs' capabilities. But it also says Hottest 94 degrees (this is celsius). So the thermal readings on one of my cores is basically 94 degrees.

94°C is probably at the thermal limits of that CPU... *checks*... wow it allows up to 100°C

@feld yeah. I pips 100 a little. I am either gonna have to bring it inside or wait for cooler weather to digitise my films. 😜

I got the documentary “Aliens Expanded” (about the film “Aliens”) and the MKV is 38G. It’ll only take 5 minutes to transfer. But that would be 5 minutes at 100C or more. So, I don’t date.
