asked on

ideal datacentre temperature

I used to work in DCs which set their temp to 18-21 Celsius and a few sites recommend this lower temp too

We are auditing one 'green' hosting DC which set temperature at 26 Celsius.

At this temp, are servers more likely to overheat n parts break down?

Whats the practices out there?

Ok thanks for the update.  That means you'll have more control in that environment as far as the setup and you can optimize your equipment for power saving or balanced which will produce less heat which in turn would be more compatible to the warmer room temps.  So honestly I think the 26 degree setup will be fine since it will be your equipment only.
