Yes it is running a bit warm. Operating temps. should be between 0 & 35
degrees C at least on a RaQ4 so I would assume a RaQ3 should be about the
same. Before you re-booted the RaQ3, had you powered it down?

What I'm thinking is that one or both fan's my have not started when power
was re-applied, or a fan may have just flaked out. If the RaQ is close by,
see if you can feel any air being pushed out the back or if it's at a co-lo
ask them to do it for you. Also check that none of the air vents are blocked
as that will also cause an overheat problem.

If a fan is out, it should be replaced as soon as you can. You can get
replacements at webhostsupply.com at a fair price.

So check the fans and vents and see if that's the problem. Keep an eye on it
in the meantime, if it continues to keep going up, it may be time to get a
little worried.

There is a lot on this question in the archives also.
