[QUOTE="CAPTAIN_CESSNA, post: 1018444, member: 120588"] A quick update... I'm not really sure what was causing the heat, though I suspect my GT430 was blowing heat directly at the tuner card. I've shuffled the tuner along by one slot and put my audio card in the slot between the gfx card and tuner, and so far it seems better. To the touch however it's still by far the warmest component in the machine and yes, it's coming from the tuners themselves. Time will tell if it lasts, though it still seems odd that it's running coolest in the only place in the case where air flow is controlled purely by convection. There's plenty of vents directly above. I tried enabling diseqc even though I'm not geared up to use it and lots of options appeared, namely another tab with motor controls etc, all of which it let me select, nothing was disabled. Hope this helps. I've noticed that the initial tuning is about the same speed as the TBS, however subsequent tuning (i.e. if I exit MePo for a while, then launch and watch TV again) it's lightning fast. [/QUOTE]
