What is it's temperature profile? How hot does it run?

60f Ambient - Running Chrome with looped YouTube and 10+ tabs, A Virtual Box Instance. Fan speed 90% (It is a personal choice, I find the fan to be relatively quiet but it is quite noticeable, but expect a rise in 10c min/idle or 20c min/load with the auto fan) Cpu usage avg;s around 10% per core, with the occasional 30%. Varies between 3.5-4.5 watts at .85 volts. Gpu usage is low using nil power, but expect 7w if fully loaded. I find the 17w max to be accurate and a good maximum tdp that can be sustained by this form factor, as to minimize effects high temperature has on nearby components. Vertical orientation rather than flat is superior and I consider it necessary. Lowering the temps by at least 5c is observed. SSD never goes above 45c, with 35c being avg, with the CPU matching these temps with a few C more. Unless using Furmark and Prime95 we can see temps up to 80c with SSD temps of 50-60c. It is recommended to never go above 45c on the SSD. While the cpu temps are high, expect the cpu to outlast any other components. The only concern is components that are withing a few CM's of the socket, when the CPU is being utilized heavily using games or other things. Conclusion - Temps are a Non-issue, except when using the CPU and/or GPU heavily. The temps Being manageable, but not achieving transparency that is wanted in this form factor. Recomendation - Wait for the Haswell incarnation and buy a version that has a TDP less than 17w, unless under low load conditions or light usage of high power applications. I want you to buy this though to accelerate the adoption of this form factor.

It's 36 degrees F. Depending on the temperature of the room, I doubt it will run that cool. The lowest I've run mine is 64 degrees F. Usually it is set to 70.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

It only has high low and warm. It also has an auto setting where it runs on high for 2 hrs then switches to low.

Honestly, have no idea what the actual 'temperature' is.. how would anyone know? All I know is that it is HOT as promised.

It is not hot to touch. It does not maintain room temp. You can set it to run for 2 hours or 4 hours basically. It allows the temp option, but doesn't really work. It reaches the time limit prior to reaching temperature. It does produce and put out decent heat though. Saved my gas bill last winter.

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.

Really don't know. What I can tell you is the unit works well, but does get hot

Only warm, not terribly hot. It remains stable on the counter. It's very loud. It's an 800 watt machine -- I was told to buy 700 watt or above in order to get the power. I don't know rpm's and I checked the user manual and it doesn't say in there either. Hope this helps.

There is no exact temperature setting, however, it works well you will just have to play with it to find the temp you want for your area

While I can't directly answer the operating temperature range, I can say that I have mine mounted in the dash, and it's weathered a 110 degree summer and below 0 winter. Almost a year in and it's still working like a charm.

I have not experienced this unit getting hot and I let it run for extended periods without a break (weeks at a time). So far it seems to be a really good purchase for the price.

It heats to 104, which is very hot. We are just coming into colder weather with our tub, and it suppose to only run for 8 hours at a time. We turn it on when we go to bed, turn it off when we get up, and give it a couple hours rest. That way it doesn't get any lower than 80 degrees, we use it at least once a day if not more, and don't want to wait too long to get to a hot temp in the colder weather.

It's been working well for me running 24/7. It throws some heat but it's only around 75 degree's, maybe 80 at the maximum. I run an A/C in the same room so it's no problem for me. I'm very satisfied with it, just a word of caution though if you don't want to run it 24 hours a day, then you may want to run it on a timer, it's built in timer function doesn't seem to be well thought out. Hope this helps.

Not sure of temp. It's hot but not enough that It would burn you. Works nice.

I would guess about 45 Degrees and about 34 Degrees. - Please note this is not scientific, but a rough estimate(I currently own, and i'm using it).

It does not hold exact temperature. It will go above some and then stay off until it's below, but other features made up for it for me.
