Are these Sossaman's supposed to run this hot on idle? I thought they'd run really cool since they're LV, but maybe I'm mistaken...or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas?
Do you have fans on the heatsinks?
Without fans I saw 69C at 100% load during a test.
temps all in the 30's with 80mm fans at 100% load.
