                Dell will do that. HPE operates above 40C pretty well.

                    We are primarily a Dell shop here... so yeah. I don't mind stuff shutting down due to self-preservation, lol.

                          Yeah, I mostly prefer Dell, but their heat sensitivity sucks compared to HPE. I've had datacenters hit 160F and lost zero HPE servers... lost every Dell and Cisco though, including switches.

                              Both. They failed to stay up and running, causing an outage. The HPE kept running and had no need to shut down for self preservation because it wasn't hot enough to damage them. So a heat induced outage.

                                Someone who likes cigars please explain something to me. Why would someone spend $1500 on 1 single cigar?

                                Background: I have a Social Media client that is a high-end cigar shop (I do all their social media stuff for them). I don't get cigars... let alone the cost for some of these.

                                I need to be able to market these things but can't find good ways to describe them for ads.

                                        Owch. Our stuff starts shutting down if the rooms get much over 30C

                                        Dell will do that. HPE operates above 40C pretty well.

                                        We are primarily a Dell shop here... so yeah. I don't mind stuff shutting down due to self-preservation, lol.

                                        Interesting - so you're saying that HPE have higher heat tolerances than Dell? or does HPE just not have thermal shutdown, instead opting for thermal meltdown, if over-heated? I am asking this mostly tongue in cheek.

                                          Probably both. Which would you prefer, a machine that shuts down from external heat and causes an outage for sure, or one that does best effort to keep your environment running?

                                            Someone who likes cigars please explain something to me. Why would someone spend $1500 on 1 single cigar?

                                            Background: I have a Social Media client that is a high-end cigar shop (I do all their social media stuff for them). I don't get cigars... let alone the cost for some of these.

                                            I need to be able to market these things but can't find good ways to describe them for ads.

                                            When you pay $1000 for a shirt, $1500 for a cigar is probably not something you care about. Think about it this way - what if was only $1.50 how how you advertise it? take that and oozz luxury all over it, and you have Donald Trump, and rich people will buy it.
