Hi, i have buyed this SFF yesterday.
My system config. is:
xp 2500+ running at 200x10
Cdr Lg 52x24x52
Maxtor 120 Giga
Floppy disk :-(
Ok, my question is about the cpu temp: it stays aroun 52 c in idle (downlaoding from dc++, applications like antivirus in background). I tried to put a hand where the fan blows out and the air is very very hot! After 2 hours of Q3 arena the temp goes to 54. (smart fan option in my bios activated)
May others owner of sn45g tell me their cpu temperature and their config?
Thank you!!!

P.s. Sorry for my english! 8)

Mine runs around the same temprature... goes up to 55c when loaded.

.... maybe you could answer a question of mine.....does your SN45g make a slight ticking noise when powered down ? MY PSU ticks when the power cable is still connected but the system is switched off.

My psu does not make any strange noise....
Today i removed the shim and i gained 2 degrees: now my pc runs at 50 C!
Which is your cpu? Are your fan running in Smart mode or other?
ByE! :P

However i'm very satisfied of this sn45g: the only thing that hurts me is the loudness of the entire system (psu fan in particular).
Other pc of mine with a p4 3.06 ghz is definitely quieter.
Saturday i will try to cut the case, at the top (over the psu) and i will put a 6x6 fan to blow in air: a friend of mine doing so gains 7 C on cpu temp and 5 on psu temp. One last thing: now, in october, i have about 18,5/19 C in my room, but in July or August i have also 26! So, 50 C of the cpu (now) + 8 degrees i'll reach a 60 C temperature in idle.... not so good! Not only for cpu but also for H.disk, for example....

Bye!
