My Octane (R10k-195) ran the other day in  90-degree-F temps with zero
problems.  I almost shut it down, but I really wanted to see how it
would perform.  Flawlessly, it did.

The O2 (R5k-180) also performed well, but it wasn't really doing
anything, just operating as a cacheing DNS server on a temp basis.
