Not so sure the difference ripping a disk would make unless you have a super insulated room, but CPU heat is very much a consideration. Each summer I keep contemplating moving my rack with ~100 cores to the basement only to be dissuaded by the dampness and cable runs.
A lot of things made it a Winter project for me: wanting to assist my furnace rather than fight my air conditioner in the Carolina heat was one thing, also my work slows down a lot in winter, not as many projects to do, so I had plenty of time to mess with it over winter. Plus, in summer I keep my house at 74, in winter I keep it at 70, It’s amazing how much that makes a difference in CPU temperatures.
