So I have a N100 NUC on firewall duty, and the thing runs much hotter than when running Windows.
At 19C ambient temp (today) with its default passive cooling setup, case as heat sink, CPU is at 57C which is hot for idle but not close to TJMAX, however the NVME is at 68C. This room will get over 30C in the summer.
Blowing a small USB fan over the top of the case fins makes everything similar to desktop temps so CPU in 30s and NVME down to 40s. But trying to avoid having to use active cooling, so curious if you guys would be ok with your drive at those sort of temps 24/7.
