Way back in 2007/2008, Google did a study on HDD failures not increasing when they had 80+ degree server rooms. Someone at a company I used to work for, read that study in 2013, and removed the air conditioners from our server rooms. We ran at almost 90 degrees from that point on, inside the racks it was much hotter. We lost a couple battery backups, internal fans, and power supplies before I could convince them to turn the air back on.
