Try directing a hair dryer at the box for a few minutes, see if you see a
change then - if you can, figure out where the sensor is physically and
point the hair dryer at that spot.

Just an idea, no warranties on whether it's good or bad...

Apparently so, but wouldn't there be a point when the
room temp increases enough that the temp probes in the
system would record an increase? Was just wondering
how dang hot it has to be in the room before that
happens, and will my other servers crash before that
point.
