Cost Of A Basic HD-Capable System
Thanks to the HD-video capabilities built into the 780G chipset, users who want to put together HTPC or multimedia systems can save themselves the cost of buying a graphics card. Meanwhile, the prices of Blu-ray drives have dropped so low that it is now possible to buy the innards of a full-featured HDTV system with a 500 GB drive for as little as €423.

The 780G system with a flat low-profile HFC-20820-C1 CPU cooler made by Hiper
Since this configuration gets by without a dedicated graphic card, the system can literally keep a low profile. If a low CPU cooler is used as well, this multimedia system can be installed in a very flat case. AMD is setting a new standard for HTPCs.
Thanks to their low profile, the components will allow you to use a small case.
Hiper's HMC-1K53A is a very flat HTPC case.
Hiper's HMC-1K53a is a mere 53 mm high.

What revision is your board? I just received this board and it's the new revision 1.1 which has a bigger heatsink (you can see the pictures from the gigabyte site for both revisions 1.0 and 1.1). I am getting my CPU soon and want to also check the northbridge temperatures. What can I use to measure the temps?
Thanks
Unfortunately, I'm using the rev 1.0 board. I fitted it with an HR05 heatsink from thermalright and its now just warm to the touch not hot. I'm using everest to monitor my temps. Aux now registers at 37 C, though I'm not really sure if its the NB temp. You can also use riva tuner among others.
