hi guys was playing max payne 2 last night and the fan was on and off during the game i rebooted and checked my bios the cpu was sat at 48 is that an ok temp for a Shuttle with an 1800amd and two harddrives which will block the airflow..?
Also what is the best cpu heat monitor for a shuttle system?
my shuttle is the SN41G2
They sure don't run cool. Mine runs at about 48-50 at load. MBM works ok for temp monitoring, but I think unless things go crazy then just try not to think about it!
Not around too often!
that damn fan on and off is a bugger!
The revving is why I watercooled mine.
Its so annoying!
It would be better if the fan just switched to full for 5 minutes or something than constantly adjusting

Set it to be on all of the time then. Or replace it with a quieter one!

Get a noiseblocker fan in there, a nice S3 or S4 would be ideal, or do what I did and bodge a watercooling solution together.
Bit more expenive but much more fun

Noiseblockers are damn fine. Pops straight in where the old sunon hurricane impersonator goes!

I had a noiseblocker got very whiny on me after a few weeks, not bad though certainly pushed the air through.
anything good at ebuyer.com as i need to order some stuff from there?
Shuttles generally do run hot all the time. Mine used to idle at about 48 and was about 53 under load. Also you can stop the fan from revving by changing the speed variable fan options in the BIOS so it only does it at certain temperatures.
cheers kez, the shuttle is running fine by the way... had no probs with it... i wanna put some bright lights in it now cos i'm a big kid!
lol, yeh bright lights are fun. I was hoping it'd all be fine, there's no reason why it shouldn't have gone wrong. Only other way to get it running cooler is a more powerful fan which = more noise unfortunately. Having so much air moving around a small space causes noise, it's not really the fan it's the actual airflow.
Snip out the Fan grille to reduce airflow noise.
Get a nice Antec blue LED fan http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=36338
Not too noisy and they look cool
