Is my ambient room temperature going to be a problem?

[shira]

I'll be building a system based on the DFI NF4-UltraD within the next month or so, and I'm wondering if my high ambient temperature (85F = about 29.5C) will cause stability problems.

I've been flip-flopping between using a GB of OCZ TCCD/TCC5 memory or a GB of Gold VX; obviously, the VX would add to the heating issues. I'll be using only a modest video card (6600GT) and a single SATA II HD. I WILL be OC'ing, though.

The other planned components, just for completeness, are:

OCZ Powerstream 520W
NEC 3520a DVD drive
Floppy Drive

In other words, not loaded up at all.


Should I be concerned?

Probably not. I have 4 PC's in a small room, running 24/7/365. Case temps are all 30*C, and the room is at 23*C. I have not had stability or overheating problems; except when I tried to OC the P5P800 to 20%. It OC's to 15 % without any problem, but doesn't like 20%. Most of my RAM is OCZ with the heat shields; some is Gei; also with heat shields. Not aware of any problems with the RAM either.

As long as your case has a good airflow, and you're not a radical OCer, you shouldn't encounter any problem.
