I have the above mentioned server. Now the trick is i have it on the balcony outside and now when its winter the temperature drops to -10C and i noticed the server shuts down when its around -5C. Now is there a way i can trick it for example to unsolder the temperature sensor of by updating the bios? Let me say i had an ordinary pc and it worked all year around so from +40C to -10C with no problem. The other thing i found by surfing the net is that its better if its colder.
Thank you for answers
The rule that it's better if it's colder only goes so far; it's best if the system is in an environment between 10 and 20C probably.
-10C is a bad idea for a system. Just because that PC didn't shut down, it doesn't mean that it was ok; it just means that it didn't have the advanced features to monitor it's environment and play it safe if it gets too cold or too hot.
For a short period (a few minutes to a few hours) a more extreme temperature may not cause too many long-term issues on a computer, but long term exposure to harsh temperatures can cause the system to have failures sooner than if you kept the system is normal working environment (temperatures, but also humidity).

thank you for the answer i know what you mean but this server was about to go in trash i saved him or extended hes torture if you may :). I would like to trick him but dont know where the sensor is. Or i do this or buy a new server whitch is about 1000€ that about 1200$. I would like to use this one for as long as i can.
