Specifically the LSI 8888 in a case that gave very low amounts of air
flow over the RAID card. The case right above the card was quite hot,
and the multilane cable was warm enough to almost burn my fingers when
I pulled it out the back. I'm not sure any RAID card would have
survived there, but the LSI 8888 LP definitely did not.
