man -- you're good -- i was waiting a bit more to post back, but yes, this appears to be thermal. clearly, this means that the heat sync/case has been incorrectly engineered. unit is flat on a shelf with nothing above it for 1.4 meters and the room is not that hot. i'd hate to see this unit in a warm space or with suppressed air flow. i have placed it vertically on the shelf -- allowing air to circulate on both sides (bottom and top). placing the heat sync on the bottom of the board/case doesn't seem to sufficient heat dissipation -- indeed, the rest of the case, and the motherboard itself, become heat collectors. i'll be curious to see pc engines proposes a new mounting/heat sync method. if the case had air flow slits on top and on the sides, i'd bet that it would be much cooler. cheers m _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
