What are you doing with heat? (alien.top)

I am starting to wonder why my server system is making SO much heat. I live in Norway, so outside temperature is around freezing, and my house I keep it around 25 degrees inside, except no heating in the server room. It got a roof extraction vent that is constantly sucking out air in that room, and I just had it inspected to be working perfectly fine.

Still its always over 30 degrees in that room, and the hot air is oozing from the server. Its just a consumer based drive and a couple of switches, plus a UPS, and its so warm in there.

Im getting afraid the high temperature can affect the hardware when its 30-35 degrees inside the server rack

I don't really have any input on your question, but I have one of my own.

25°?? Is that a typical indoor temperature for houses in Norway? I'm in Canada and my house sits around 19° most of the year, as do most people I know.
