External case temperature should always be below 27*C (80*F), with the best temperatures around 18*C (65*F). Internal air temperature should be around 40*C (104*F), except for heatsinks, which require lower temperatures.
As long as you're using fans, don't be worried until case air temperature exceeds 55*C(130*F). At this point, both fans and passive coolers will be useless, and only liquid cooling will be able to safely protect your components.

∙ 15y agoIn general, the cooler, the better. Cold works really well. But don't reach for the thermostat yet. Grab a seat and pull it up. Let's chat. The semiconductors in modern computers like it cold. So do the other components, generally speaking. But the new stuff has been designed and engineered to work well in "warm" or even "hot" environments. Particularly the laptops and other portable computing devices. If someone like, say, a surveyor is out in the desert using a computer to locate benchmarks or load data, he or she needs that machine to work. And it will. It was designed to. It isn't a good idea to ramp the thermostat down thinking your computer will be happier. It will, but it can take "room temperature" and even more. Work in a temperature that is comfortable but that conserves energy, and let your well-designed and well-engineered computer take care of itself. It'll do fine.

How do you check ambiant temperature?
ambient air temperature is the temperature of your surrounding air. if you stand outside with a thermometer, and it reads 64 degrees, that is ambient temperature.
What is room temperature salts?
These salts have the ambient temperature.
Is ambient temperature room temperature?
Simply put, ambient temperature is the temperature that surrounds a point of interest. It is the average temperature in the area of focus. For instance, if we were inside an industrial complex and we were examining the ambient temperature of a large room we would have to consider what is contributing to that temperature. Is the large room empty or is there machinery or people that are generating heat in that area? All the sources of heat and cool would average out in that area and that temperature would be the ambient temperature. Room temperature is comfortable to live in and is generally determined to be around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). The ambient temperature of a house (inside) that is at room temperature would be the same (20 degrees Celsius), but the ambient temperature outside on a winters day would be much cooler than room temperature, maybe even freezing. The temperature given on the news or at a location is the ambient temperature for that area.
How does automobile ambient temperature work?

Is the ambient temperature in a 1300 petrol engine high or low?
The ambient temperature in this case refers to the temperature outside the engine. This is relevant for calculations related to heat engine. The ambient temperature will of course vary, but it is usually somewhere around 300 K.
