[QUOTE="r32godzilla, post: 60120, member: 11601"] Ok I have had the HTPC in the cupboard in my entertainment cabinet for about 1 week now. I have been recording some shows and have left in running for about 5hrs nonstop at a time. Still haven't had it running overnight yet, want to test a bit more first. I have set the Gigabyte mb monitoring software for 55degrees for the CPU alarm and have yet to hear it go off. Will have to set the temp a bit lower and see what happens and also run MP in a windows and see what the temps read. The Motherboard monitor temp plugin is outdated and also doesn't support my motherboard. Is there any good plug-ins for Media portal to monitor the system temps? Considering the number of fans I have, the noise level is quite good especially being in the cupboard. The air intake is not ideal through the cupboard as there is only a slit between the doors, but so far it hasn't seemed to affect the temp much. Might have to make up a mesh intake to replace the frosted glass bit on the cupboard door if things get too hot, but at the moment things are looking good. WIll also try and get some photos shortly too. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
