They are low, since I only download and watch movies in my plasma TV(hdmi). I control it from my main pc via Remote Desktop connection.
Only vga can get temps, in summer goes up to 60-70oC.
 
Nice that must be awesome having no background noise from you're PC. Not the prettiest thing no offence but its just HTPC so doesn't really matter. The case looks pretty empty too but that is probably to help airflow im guessing. Great rig though dude! :)
 
i think your ram is working in single channel mode, because the ram slot layout usually goes like this (from the cpu side):
channel A, channel B, channel A, channel B. you have 1 stick of ram in channel a and one stick of ram in channel b

That's really cool. Isn't there a fan in the PSU, though?

No, it is dual. This mobo has these ports for dual channel.
 
How much noise does this thing actually produce- light coil whine or any other electrical sounds? (that aren't unhealthy)

This in the living room with a wireless xbox controller and Steam In-Home streaming seems like a match made in heaven ;)

I use Plex here, Plex server on main computer in dining room out the way, and old Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop in front room connected to tv running Plex Home Theater and I use an old Windows media center remote control on it (Emprex I think), also on my dedicated server, I have plex running also so as can get media on there while out as long as can connect either phones or tablets to a WiFi signal.

I have in past, also use my mobile for kids to connect to whilst in car so they can stream stuff off onto their tables (That's what they get for giving me unlimited access :D ) but since then, my contract ended and now just using PAYG so wont be doing that again in hurry.

My kids who live couple of hundred miles away also connect to the dedicated server to stream stuff off onto their tablets and laptops.
 
Nice ;o. It kinda kills my soul how not even one fan to help a little bit but that's kind of the whole point of what you did xD.
