It depends. I've seen some when there really active to be more than 10 degrees higher than room temp. One thing you can do is fill a large bucket with water and put the fermenter inside. Adding ice or frozen water bottles as necessary to get the temp you want.

Also how are you getting the temp of the internal contents?
