LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i Overheating

The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller can experience excessive overheating due to insufficient airflow, requiring external cooling solutions.

• Operating temperatures of the 9361-8i significantly exceeded recommended limits, necessitating attention to proper airflow requirements.
• The controller requires a minimum of 200 LFPM of airflow to maintain stable and safe operating temperatures.
• Adding a high-powered external fan directly over the card effectively reduced temperatures from 73°C to around 53°C.
