So, my HTPC has a problem with heat. But only when playing games, it's not THAT much of an issue, but it is concerning, I fired up STO and it shows the temperature on the card hitting 100 degrees, it gets hotter and shuts the system down, but when I saw it hit that temp I shut the game down....
The above picture is a picture of what my HTPC looks like. The whole thing runs horizontally. The problem zone is to the left of the processor, that spot gets the hottest. The video card is right underneath the beam you're seeing run from front to back, which acts as a stabalization support for the case. I don't think it's causing an issue because it's grooved, and ther's plenty of room between it and the card....
But looking at the system, do you see a way to improve cooling? Make it cooler....
