Hi,

Heatsink is a bit bigger. We managed to introduce good thermal governing for the CPU a couple of months ago and this resolved issues for those using things like newsgroup downloaders (extracting can be CPU intensive). There were some reports of issues with the Mimic skin causing heat so we will soon introduce some GPU based governing as well as initial reports have been positive. 

Cheers,

Sam

 hi,

I'm wanting to purchase and will indeed be running sabnzbd. If a download finishes and begins to unpack while a movie is playing, is this likely to impact playback? Drives are usb 3.0 but I believe 4k+ only supports 2.0.

USB 2.0 should give you enough throughput to do this.
I recommend avoiding the NTFS partition format as there is a lot of overhead as it has to be handled in userspace (FUSE); which can slow down performance.

Hope this helps

Sam
