Worked with computer equipment for over 40 years, heat is the enemy of all things electronic. You probably would want to set a maximum temperature 78 degrees or so and not let it get any hotter. Also, humidity doesn't do good things to electronics either, kind of the one two punch as far as electronic longevity is concerned.
