Thermographic Inspection of My Automation PC!

I thought it useful to establish a baseline for the thermals on my home automation pc. I used my Seek thermal xr camera for this job and the visual camera on my galaxy note 4.

The Pc Cabinet.

My automation PC is mounted on the wall. Here the cabinet is open.

The Atx Power Supply.

The 250watt supply is only loaded to a maximum of 52watts. All looks fine with it and I hope it continues with its long service life.

The Enclosure Fan.

The fan is running fine and quiet.

The Chipset.

The IC looks in good thermal condition.

The DDR4 Modules.

The ram is running at expected temperatures.

Backpanel Components.

The solid capacitors and other components appear in good condition.

CPU Voltage Regulators.

This cpu is a skylake i7 35watt quad core. It sips power and as such the voltage regulators have an easy job.

The SSD.

I do love solid state drives for low power consumption and cool operation!
