    Yeah, sadly a lot of server hardware is designed for high air-flow rack-mounted cases and doesn’t deal so well with normal ventilation somewhat optimized to reduce noise. Especially PCIe ethernet cards seem to get really hot, but SATA extension cards are also problematic. Adding some better passive cooling also often helps.
