Hi there, the typical ambient temperature inside the PC chassis is about 24-30 degrees Celsius. Typical CPU temp in the 40s or 50s. I've never had any overheating problems with the machine, despite it being on for months at a time in the summer. I do not have a temperature probe inside the rack but outside the PC. Because the particular rack case I have is quite open, I imagine it's usually room temperature. I don't have one of those nifty decibel meters, so I can't give distance + decibels for the machine. I consider it very quiet, when you factor in all the drives etc. It's obviously better when the fans have just been cleaned. Is there a way to get accurate decibel readings using my Delta 1010 and Pd? I'd do it and post the results. . .
