How hot is too hot?


I run a Creek Classic 5350 SE integrated that gets up to around 105 degrees or so in the cabinet. It's not an ideal cabinet, for sure, but I'm dealing with it as a constraint. Does anyone know how hot is too hot? I know that servers and computer equipment really should not be run that hot if you expect them to last. What about audio amps?

Thanks.

55 deg C or 30 above ambient is the rule of thumb for Class A. 100 deg F is nothing to worry about.
