I would certainly check the actual temp of the MaxTNT. We don't get 'ambient' temperatures of 95F in the UK very often (once a year maybe). If you mean the temp close to the MaxTNT is around 95F and the room in general is cooler then that is not quite as bad, but ventilation should still be concidered. I did have a case of a Max 4000 failing with broken fans. The Max 4000 has a separate power supply and fuse for the fans. The case of the Max was too hot touch for about 10 minutes after it was powered off!! I can't remember the exact symptoms that got me to take a look at the box, it may have rebooted.
