Don't count on this. It can work for a year and then when higher
ambient + cpu load + HD load all meet a few times there will
be suddenly a problem.
Some years ago I fried two HDDs in a 4801. The temperature
was not that high (according to SMART around 60 C peaks once
a week running a CPU and HDD-heavy job, 40-50 the rest
of the time), but without proper cooling not only
the absolute temperature is higher, also the temperature
differences and change rates are much higher. And that
is what probably matters more.
Adding a few holes and a small fan fixed these problems.
