Providing the fans hold up, then yes. Ensure you route cabling correctly.
Don't use massively high-spin speed hard drives - they run a lot hotter than
slower stuff. Be sensible about the configuration of the machine...
24*7*365 isn't a problem. The important thing is the load on the box.
Remeber, the machine will run cooler with a light load on it than it will if
you are running Dnet or SETI@home on it all the time.
I assume the machine is to be used as a server - and as such will be under
stres at times. Would you say this was the case?

Subject: Re: [newbie] Willing to run Dragon Plus MB
Lots of emails about this and finally I've decided to go for a brand
new
Dragon Plus MB ***BUT*** something hit my head....
We all know the temperature issue on AMD, I'm considering an Ath1.4
or a
XP1.9.
Ok, I live in Brazil and recently we've got real hot temperatures
(30 ~
36C), high humidity.
Do you think this config should be able to run 24x7x365?
I'm planning to take the best cooler around for the CPU and have
front and
back forced ventilation, as well as on the top (one or two coolers).
Currently, I have a se440bx-2 pII-400, and it does support this
temperature and humidity.
How about AMD and this Dragon Plus MB?
