I have a TV Server running 24/7 with 2 external firedtv Dvbs Card and a Smarcam Cam.

The tv card and the cam become very (very) hot, even if they are in the basement (no more than 20 degree in the summer). I feel that the few problem I have with tv server/client comes from this.

Is s3/s4 the only way of cooling them down? I'd prefer not to do, as I have various services running on the server.

Bye
