We recently built a replicating SAN array from 2x Dell R720XD's, we are using LSI 9270-8i MegaRAID cards with CacheCade 2.0, BBU and Write Back cache enabled.
Our cards are showing HUGE chip temperatures (97*C+ with NO disk activity!).
Our R720's are in auto temp management mode so the max exhaust temp is 50*C.
The MegaRAID cards are passively cooled and depend on good airflow to cool them - however is 97*C normal? - I have seen reference to 60*C max ambients but nothing for chip temp.
