as long as your box is stable, it does not matter, what the sensors say. They |
| 22 |
are lying all the time. |

They are so much off the real value most of the time, that the only |
| 25 |
temperature that maters, when your box starts to behave strangely. |

Note down that temperature, and do everything to not reach it. But everything |
| 28 |
below that is nice&cool. |
