Well the heat output of the PC will make your basement more miserable. It’s like turning on a space heater.

As long as your fans provide good airflow. The computer should be fine. It’s not the number of fans but quality of fans and efficiency of the case design.

All I can say is try it out. That’s the only way you’ll know.

Cellars are more even temperature than above ground locations. The ground acts like a big heat sink, and heat rises. Will your PC run a little hotter, probably. Best recommendation is just to monitor the temps for a while. If they look OK, then you can go back to not worrying.

I'd suggest if you plan on using the pc, especially with that Rx gpu, for any lengthy period of time, leave the cellar door open, or as said, all that heat sitting high will eventually build up and become low enough to really start affecting the cooler air intake. Leaving the door open will allow that room heat to go up and out (sorry but that'll be back inside the house).

if the basement has small windows you can try and use a portable ac unit to cool just the basement.

Home depot/Lowes has totally portable standalone units that do not require an open window, there's an adjustable slat for drain attachment that'll fit inside the window.

It's currently 35'C where I live and it's this temperature everyday all day, and night time its about 28'C - so you should have zero problems.
Just monitor the temperatures, and make sure your fans/heat sinks are cleaned and not full of dust.
btw 35'C = 95'F
