Temperature Question: Would it be a bad idea to place my new NAS in the HVAC room in the basement? When the furnace is on the room climbs to 30-35°C (86°F). (alien.top)

It's a new 2bay desktop TS-264. QNAP's recommended operating temp is 0-40°C (32-104°F).

Am I taking a risk running close to 40°C; it could get that high if furnace runs for a long time. Are the temp swings a problem (it's generally cooler than the rest of the house down there when furnace is off).

Any advice, tips, experiences please?

86 isn't very hot, mines in my garage and in the summer it gets close to 110 in there. Servers, nas and network gear all fine and it's been 4 years.
