My CPU is a constant 40C and my motherboard is 34C . I have no dust bunnies and my
server is in a well ventilated spot with both side covers off.
Overheating can be caused by dust bunnies,computer placed in an area where there is
no air circulation Under Desk which is a No No,Junk piled around computer,and of
course the back of computer against a wall which completely blocks circulation
