Average temperature of your receivers

[joysleep1]

Hi
Would anyone mind updating what box you have and what the average temperature it stays at when in use.
What is the highest you have seen? Lowest?
My xtrend gets to about 48 degrees. Just wandering if that is hotter than normal and if i should be worried.
Thanks

Duo2 pretty much stable at 33c come summer or winter

anything over 35c could cause problems

Yh i was reading it on some of the opena tv forums and they all say that around 45-47 is normal

My Duo2 runs at ~43 but I have seven tuners, a 3.5" 1TB HDD internal and 1TB HDD eSATA connected, all housed within a wooden cabinet (the cabinet 'slot' is twice the height of the Duo2 and is open to ambient air front and back). The tuners are as per my signature. I've had this configuration for 2 years now... the Duo2 has never given any hardware problems.

My old DM7025 used to get much hotter and I went through three PSUs before I lost interest in it. The Vu+ hardware seems much better quality than the old DMs.

Press menu, information, about, and it's at the bottom of the system info.

My solo2 runs around 30 at default fan speed

Curious about the other quad tuners that are on the market. I saw someone on the other forums get one of those usb notebook coolers you can place under the box to keep it cooler. Might look into it.

Thats total noncense.

Only way to get true temp readings is a Digital Infra Red thermometer.

Ambient Temperature +15 ° C. .. +35 ° C

So the temp fan control display of box temperature running Vix is pointless? I have alwayS gone by that plus what VU say is best running temp being Ambient Temperature +15 ° C. .. +35 ° C

It's just a guide. Temp accross receivers very from ambiant, CPU, Tuners, HDD etc..., all vary.

So if my fan set set up says that the system temperature is 46 degrees.. Is this bad for the receiver?

Solo2 never goes above 33 in winter and about 40 in summer.

Duo2 about same
