Hi

Does anyone know how hot EDS cards are supposed to get ? Mine get up to
similar temperatures to video cards, that is, just about too hot to touch -
is this normal ?

I'm trying to figure out if I can set up a P4 system with 3 EDS cards and
an RME HDSP9652 in a Zalman fanless case, the objective being to allow
recording in the control room area (some of my clients don't like being in
an iso booth). Will my components fuse together in a molten ball of copper
?

Anyone tried this before ?

Cheers,

Stewart.

EDS cards will overheat if there is no forced ventilation. They get
EXTREMELY hot, and with 3 in one case, you will have no end of pops
and crackles in your audio.

Would it be feasible to cool them using heat pipes do you think ?

With the size of the cards, and how close they sit to each
other, I don't think it would be too practical. If it were
one circuit board it may work, but not with the two stuck
together.
