• How hot is too hot?

    Posted on July 6, 2024 at 23:44 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    So last night at 1:30 a.m. we lost power in the house. You don’t realize how much “white noise” electronics make in your house until the power goes out. The power company indicated it would be about 2 hours before the power situation was resolved, but fortunately, we got the power back within 20 minutes.

    I did dig out several battery operated fans I have as the house had residual a/c but the fans help to keep the air moving.

    But it reminded me that we’re going to be HOT and equipment …. like transformers…. don’t like it.  Computers as well are not too keen to be in the extreme heat. If you accidentally put your iphone in the hot sun, it will shut itself down to save the phone.

    If you are uncomfortable in the heat, so is your technology.

    No longer do you have to have desktops and laptops in really cold rooms like they still do for datacenters. But you shouldn’t have them in a hot car or other really warm location.

    What temperature related oddities have you experienced with your technology?
