I just got into work and noticed that the server room is boiling hot. The thermostat is reading 85 degrees and the alarm was going off. I silenced the alarm, but now I have to worry about what to do. There is about 15 various servers in there, and I don't want any of them burning up. It's 7:15am on a Sunday morning, so I doubt I can maintanence in here very soon. The normal temperature is about 72, so I'm not sure what the deal is. How hot do you guys think it can get in there before stuff starts melting? Too bad the windows are all sealed....

The temperature of the server room doesn't matter.

What matters is the temperature of the CPU.

Anything above 50 Celsius is cause for concern.

Can you get a reading?
