Tablo Lite running very hot all the time @ 105F even when idle all night

That proves the point that external measurements are somewhat meaningless. And even less meaning full without the actual specifications. People who worry can pop the case and take a measurement.

Some may think your laptop CPU’s temperature of 194F is pretty hot.

But you can also find that some documentation that Intel CPU’s can sustain 700 - 2500 hrs at 125°C over a 7 year time frame.

My 4 year old tablo keeps plugging along without melting with nothing more then being raises 1 inch above the underlying surface.
