Original Review from SPCR Forum
It makes me feel better to see the health of my boxes at a glance, plus the IR sensor can now be mounted inside.
What the six bar graphs are currently programmed to display
No.Blink is a home-made circuit replacing the power button’s PCB, its special job is to UNBLINK the sleep LED that Mobo vendors love to do these days. Is HERE if you want to build it.
The absence of a USB3 header on my Mobo had me replace the stock jacks with my own USB2 and more manageable cable.
The Kingston Hyper were the only DDR3 SoDimm that I found with heat spreader. Thermal table follows below.
M.Sata for OS boot and Apps only, my media libraries are on NAS.
Spec: Single task bedroom HTPC, Dual core Haswell G3220, H81 Thin Mobo, 64G m.Sata, 4G Ram, no HD, no ODD, no gaming.
The temp of the Chipset+mSata were about 10c hotter before I installed the additional heatpipes. The “flat” heatpipes are available from Newark.com or uk.farnell.com, and in a way easier to install because they require no copper blocks and as long as there is a flat surface. VRMs received some enzotech and the DRAM built-in heat spreader will have to make do.
