Ran Prime overnight (@ stock and w/fan set to MID mode in bios) and my cpu temps never exceeded 52c.
This bios mod sounds intriguing! May give it a shot this weekend...
I can also confirm that the bios is reporting cpu temps 20c higher than what's reported in Windows (CoreTemp) for me. Maybe Shuttle will release a fix via bios revision in the future?
Omitted the drive carriage altogether as I'm not using a DVD drive in my build.
I was able to mount the 2.5" to 3.5" bracket that came with the Corsair SSD to the holes behind the front panel. No drilling necessary...the holes line up perfectly:
Just curious if you have received / installed the Asetek cooler in your build?
Aside from hearing a loud whoosh of water flowing through the tubes for a couple seconds the very first time I powered it up, I can't hear any noise from the pump in mine...My temps are extremely low so I assume...
I honestly can't hear any real noticeable difference between the psu fan under load vs. idle. I guess I was expecting a big increase in noise or some sort of high-pitched whine but I've been pleasantly surprised by this little psu.
With the Scythe Kama fan on the Asetek cooler set to Low or...
Haven't really had a chance to really put it through it's paces yet but was able to get it to 4.5GHz yesterday afternoon. Ran Prime for about 2 hours and it didn't go above 63 ºC (with fan set to Mid Mode in bios).
Built my SZ68R5 w/ the Asetek 545LC liquid cooler mentioned in this thread over the weekend. Absolutely loving it...You can check out my build log here.
