i cannot believe that giant gpu heatsink fit in that little apex case. how's the temp though?

[eskro]

that was my next question, temps

[joeranjensen]

try "sudo nvidia-xconfig"

Ahhhrg, the tv screen is turning black after about 20 secs, and I have to fysical push the powerbutton to reset the machine. This is only happening in the commandline, not in bios.

The fans are set to silent and the cpu temp is 45 celcius and MB ( I guess its motherboard) is 35 celcius. I dont know what the gpu temp is, havent found it in the bios.

But this temperatures is not under movie playback or any power demanding operation. (Im still struggeling with the xbmc live and driver installation)

then try "stratx" and see what message you get..?

you might be tempted to try OpenElec... maybe it will work without too much effort.

[joeranjensen]

try "sudo nvidia-xconfig"

Code:

Using X configuration file: "etc/x11/xorg.conf".
Backed up file "/etc/x11/xorg.conf" as "/etc/x11/xorg.conf.Backup"
New X configuration file written to "/etc/x11/xorg.conf"

Code:

Stratx: command not found

Ive installed openelec to my other htpcs because of alot of trouble with xbmc live, and I only have good words about it, but this time I want xbmc live to work. I want the possibilities to customization..

[joeranjensen]

I tried to type just "xbmc" then I got the error:

Code:

Error: unable to open display
FEH.py: cannot connect to X server

[Balinus]

sorry, there was a typo, i meant "startx".

Does it still frezze after 30s?

[joeranjensen]

Just for now it doesnt freeze, but if I reboot I bet it will

If I type startx:

Code:

Fatal server error:
Server is allready active for display 0
If the server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.XO-lock
and start again.

Im not an expert, but this doesent look to good

How did you installed XBMC live? Directly on the TV or another screen?

Try what they sugest : "remove /tmp/.XO-lock" and retry.

Have to go for now, good luck!

have you placed a side 120mm fan like seeing in this picture?


[EDIT]

Yes I have, and Ive placed it like its sucking the air out of the cabinet. Im not sure whats the best way.

Another thing to mention about this build is that the gap between the cpu fan and the psu is like zero. I guess I was a bit lucky with that

[eskro]

i'd put the fan to shoot AIR directly to the CPU, but thats me,,,

so instead of exhausting HOT air i would make it intake COLD air,,,
