No stability issues whatsoever the pvr350 records every program without issues. HDD temp is idleling at 60 degrees celsius a lot more when stressed. Some capacitors on the epia board are leaking but everything seems to be working as advertised. :-) So everything should run fine at these temps. The weakest component imho is the harddrive because the maximum operating temp for most drives is about 55 degrees celsius. But to get back at your question, every other hauppauge card than the pvr-350 runs cooler and the other thing that comes to my mind is to use the C3 cpufreq stuff and clock the epia C3 somewhat slower. But i think there is no real significant change in temperature, and you probably have to live with an extra heater in your room. ;-) /Robert ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
