Temperatures during 1080p playback for about an hour:

Very nice snowboarder33. How are the SilenX's? Do you feel they are helpful?

As a product, really quiet and moves a good amount of airflow (and cheap). Can't comment yet on how helpful they are since I've only tested the build with the one fan going - thought it would be at least necessary given the passive cooled GPU. I'll try disabling it and see what the temperatures are without any fan.

Thanks for the info. Can't wait to build mine, just waiting on the last of the parts now.

It looks like that one fan is quite helpful.

After about 2 hours of 1080p content, this is how the temperatures read:



You can see the GPU did reach up to 48C, so I think at least that one fan would be safe for the passively cooled GPU, it seems to keep it at a comfortable average temperature.
