Just built a new HTPC in an original NES. The board is the Gigabyte E350N.
I'm using the latest Core Temp and showing load temps (LinX) of ~65C. I have an 80mm fan on the heatsink vs. the 40mm that came installed. Fan is on a controller and regardless of fan speed, the temps are the same. Temps are also the same with the top on or off the NES so airflow isn't the issue.
Is Core Temp (latest from the website) accurate on the E-350?
I re-applied TIM and got a few C drop but still over 60 load. Low 50's idle.
How hot is too hot? The heatsink doesn't feel warm at all which makes me think the reading might not be right.
