Understood. The completely passive FC8 case we have is cooling the 2400G perfectly. Temperatures never go over 70 even under the heaviest loads, and usual loads see it around 40 to 55 degrees. That said, we took special care in installation and mounted everything properly in the correct order, used Arctic Silver 5 instead of the stock paste, and applied paste in just the right quantities (the old adage “less is more” rings true here) in the correct locations. Improper installation of cooling equipment can easily tack on up to 10 degrees (or more) to operating temperatures.
