[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 1066981, member: 65661"] with the cover off of the enclosure (just a square aluminum plate held on by corner magnets) Live TV has been running 12 hrs. Board temps below 56C, cpu temp below 45C, HDD temps 35C My conclusion ... enclosure has poor air flow with this mobo layout. The Optical drive covers the hottest components on the mobo and air flow through the chassis (being drawn out by the exhaust fan) is not thorough.. With a second fan, positioned on the left forward side vents, to blow inward, air would flow through the memory modules and past the cpu, then across the H77 chip. The second fan would have to be attached with double-sided foam tape to the chassis wall. The exhaust fan, over the right rear side vents would then be able to do an effective job of removing chassis heat. . [/QUOTE]
