How about some good old fans? I had a little NAS box in my garage for a few years that ran pretty hot and I was afraid of straining the hard disks. I ended up just using lm_sensors on the server to monitor temperature, and when it got it hot, kick off an SSH command to a raspberry pi sitting nearby to tell it to turn on an exterior fan (gpio -> mosfet -> relay) I had mounted to the side of the cabinet a few inches away from the server box (literally just an old PC fan).
Super ghetto but actually pretty efficient at bringing the server's temperature down.
- smolder 7y agoThere are pre-made circuits which come with a temperature sensor and can control fan speed to accomplish the same kind of thing. e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SLWWXL/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SLWWXL/
