That was the thought I had, but was told by the place that built it that wasn't the case. But I am not sure they quite undertand the heat buildup theory. (Not really a theory it is a fact that the heat will first go up, just like if you turn off your car, wait just a minute then turn it back on, if you have a decent temperature gauge it will be higher than it was when you just turned the car off due to heat not being dissipated properly when everything stops moving/flowing) The only problem I have with that is how do I determine WHICH is the offending piece? I may just put bigger heat sinks and fans on both CPU's and see what that does. Pretty cheap try for a fix (around $50 for 2 decent CPU cooling units) Greg Hicks
Hi Greg et al, I would not worry too much about which card or piece is the problem. I would just put as big a fan as I could stuff into the box at the top. Then fix it so that it has it's own on/off switch. That way even when you turn off your machine at least one fan is still running.
