Should be fine.
As long as it's getting the airflow though it, which it obviously is.
Stinking hot weather here. Without AC, the house in general and computer room gets to 33C every day.
For those in the know, how hot is too hot to run an old Dell Vostro i7 desktop with smoking hot Seagate Barracuda 7000rpm hard drive in it? Will it die an early death in this heat without AC? There is an extra case fan it it and the CPU fan is not screaming, it's throttled back.
You know how it is, have AC but can't afford to run it in every room.

have a look in the bios and see what temp the processor is if its under 50 c and you have some air from the case fan blowing over the hard drive it it should be ok

Make sure everything in it is clean. I give my PC a blowout with the compressor every 6 Months to get the dust and crap out and there is a lot of dust and crap that comes out!
Heat sinks and Fans don't work well if they are blocked or caked in dust.
Do you have an old Spinny analouge power meter? If so you can get a second hand set of panels and an inverter up to 2.4 KW and plug them in and reduce your power power bill.
If you hard wire the inverter you can go to 3.6 KW. Spins your meter back during the day and you can use the credit at night for a 1:1 FIT by using the grid for a battery.
Yes it works, No they won't pick up on it unless you wind the meter back past your last reading so you have a credit. With a small system and running AC that won't happen but you can reduce your bills and afford some comfort.
If you have an electronic meter that reads current forward and back and would register backfeed as a charge, Tap into the Compressor power wire in the AC and install a realay so the Solar inverter only comes on when when the AC is Running. As long as the inverter output is less than the AC is consuming you will reduce your power consumption significantly. You can get a cheap but decent clamp meter to measure what your AC draws and what the inverter is putting out.

I lived in Darwin without aircond for 26 years. I started out with an 8086 machine when they first came out, upgrading on and off over the next 20 odd years and never had a problem with heat. Even lightning strikes were taken in stride because of good surge protection.
TO qualify that: My first computer PSU did succumb, and I build an analogue supply out of a big tranny and a few zenners and voltage regulators. It was still running some 10 years later. My other machines all had protection. (If it ain't on, it's not on )
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

spinning drives run around 40-45c from memory, i don think that sort of heat would do anything
80 odd deg might tho
