Checking the limits of performance. For a basic gigabit PCIe card in your NAS setup, things get uncomfortable when temps climb past around 80°C. Beyond that, you’ll likely notice reliability issues and reduced efficiency.

The actual chip performs well at temperatures up to about 75-80°C. If it approaches that range, I recommend attaching a metal heatsink and possibly installing a fan.
