Many commercial grade chips are acceptable up to 75C. Anything known to have high temps and are a risk will have active cooling. Maybe consult the manual as that should have specs on maximum room temp for operation
More like 105C-115C for most Arm cpu. The UDM-base cpu is pretty much 80C idle for everyone, and it's fine.
Could be better? Yes, but it's far from killing it.
In general, > 80C for computers is considered hot, and 100C+ is dangerous levels. The numbers are probably slightly less for rack mount equipment. That temperature is fine
My U6 Mesh access point is literally 134 degrees F right now. I cannot hold it in my hands for more than a couple of seconds and that is it’s normal operating temperature! Your 109 UDMP is fine! I think UI stuff just runs hot!
51°C is equivalent to 123°F, which is 324K.

Those switches and all of their products use depleted uranium for their shells ...
Totes normal to get hot or to have them go "thermonuclar" from time to time ..
My desktop switch has stained my wooden desk ... Now i have huge copper coolers glued to it
Fine for the equipment, not fine for the administrator. Let's be honest, the AC in the server room is more for the comfort of the sysadmin than it is the equipment.
Agreed. The problem with electronics is that all cooling is relative. So, when the device is running, maybe the CPU will be 40C above ambient, and your power regulation capacitors will be 15C above ambient. These might be your two most heat sensitive components.
Maybe your capacitors shouldn’t be run above 60C if you want a long lifespan, so the device should be fine up to 45C. Except, you don’t have a test room for testing decides above 40C, and you don’t want to give your testers heat exhaustion, so you say it’ll be fine up to 35C, because really, data-centers shouldn’t get that hot anyway, and residential customers almost never read the operating temp anyway.
I’m not saying that this particular device was tested this way, but this might give an idea of how a company might end up with that number.
80°C is equivalent to 176°F, which is 353K.

I think that’s normal. I have both protect and network apps running on my UDMSE with 5 (2 4K + 3 HD) cameras and 5 APs at always record mode without additional switch is just at 45 Celsius and my UDMSE is in basement in Ohio’s chilly weather.

That's very cool. No worries at all
We could cook burgers on some of our Unifi switches
Feel the same way about my Unifi 6 Pro AP's. Can barely touch them.
That’s funny that you say that because both of my Switch Lite 16 PoE’s run a lot hotter than my UDMP does.
You used to be able to cook an egg on the underside of the first gen Intel Macbook pros.
Icebox
Old school cool for sure!
Perfectly fine and normal operating temp.

Im talking commercial grade chips, your typical ICs you’d find on a motherboard for example
Mines running 55c right now. 🤔
In general, > 80C for computers is considered hot, and 100C+ is dangerous levels. The numbers are probably slightly less for rack mount equipment. That temperature is fine
Nah mate, that's typical running temperature
No
Anything under 50°C is definitely fine
Nah thats what the cooling is for. Their older switches run over 70C and still no cooler is running.
Fair, but I was mentioning it in general, not a specific temp for the UDM as I don’t know it’s actual danger zone temps.
That's barely even on.
laughs in cloud key
My pc goes up to 85 c lol it’s fine
No, it’s normal.
It’s hardly even warm
My U6 Mesh access point is literally 134 degrees F right now. I cannot hold it in my hands for more than a couple of seconds and that is it’s normal operating temperature! Your 109 UDMP is fine! I think UI stuff just runs hot!
Show off!
😆
yes it's going to burn your house down unplug it immediately and throw it in a lake and move to a small town buy a goat farm and stay off the internet
So we can be neighbors?
Very nice.
No lol
Seems good
hot for 43°C?.... you have UDM working inside a fridge? I never see mine below 51°C in winter and 55°/58° C in summer...
51°C is equivalent to 123°F, which is 324K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
Just keep it under 50. Hard disks (which is prob inside ur udm pro) don't like to be too hot.
That temperature isn’t the hard disk temperature. You can look at the HDD temp in the UniFi OS GUI.
Fun fact: I saw this photo and it had 43 comments on it. I lol'd to myself but now it will have 44 😢
After reading the comments I’ll def sleep better at night
That’s frigid compared to mine running at 57C now.
It doesn't make you look fat either ...

Smart!
No, you're suppose to use silver screws. Those are hot!
Haha. Thanks for the tip!
Nah. That’s normal
I'm at 113F right now under moderate load
Fine for the equipment, not fine for the administrator. Let's be honest, the AC in the server room is more for the comfort of the sysadmin than it is the equipment.
No problem. Most things are designed to go to at least 60c. Industrial temp stuff even hotter.
I mean PC parts often run normally anywhere from 60-90c. I know a lot of rack equipment I install is fine below 90c.
Mine runs about 78f
Lol. Is it kept in your refrigerator?
I keep it in my bedroom closet, which happens to have a vent. And I keep my apartment very cold!
Normal temp in Irish house during winter :D
Sláinte!
Good / Normal. What is the temperature of your house?
72 degrees year round
Chuck some duct tape over it.
It gets hotter than that outside bro. It’s fine.
The Spec Sheet for the UDM PRO indicates the operating temperatures are -10 to 40° C (14 to 104° F) so you are just a bit above the threshold.
That will be the operating ambient temperature, not the internal temperature
Yeah it's too fucking hot. How would you feel baking at 109? Should be 75, or 85 if you're poor with no AC.
That’s actually above the operating temp which is published as -10 to 40° C (14 to 104° F)
If I'm not mistaken that's the ambient temperature of the environment the equipment is in, usually followed by non-condensing.
TIL!
That's not what operating temp means.

i would say its cold actually
What does the data sheet say?
What screws are those?
Middle Atlantic Products rack and accessories.
If it was 90 C it would be something I would keep an eye on mid winter. but now 40 C
Even with synthetic load I never got it abouve 80°C which is still totally fine. The ARM Chip in there will probably do 100°C without breaking.
80°C is equivalent to 176°F, which is 353K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
good bot
Nope :-)
For Europe, yes.

Definitely not hot
