Stress Test, Continued
The culprit responsible for the rapid temperature rise was soon found. The whole trouble was the fault of the Hiper case. The vents are not laid out for the AOpen motherboard. On the i915 board, the passive chipset is located where the CPU socket would normally be. It does not draw in air from the outside, and just serves to heat up the interior even more. Nor do the ventilation slits on the sides provide cooling, because the two memory chips prevent the heat from escaping.
