| replacing the heatsink's interface reduced my mini cpu temp to 55 degrees c idle (down from 65~70 C) and it rarely tops over 85 degrees C with plex running. I used Arctic Silver 5 and it was well worth the effort. My mini is not nearly as well vented as yours, in fact it pulls in a fair amount of heat from my receiver. Considering the environment, the AS5 dropped the operating temperature more than 10 degrees. Hope that helps. |
