Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

I do too, but here in FL in the summer months, with the AC running constantly, my 722 temps averaged over 120 and peaked over 130, which is the tipping point when problems started occurring, until the ext fan solved it.

Hopper seems to run cooler, by a good deal, my 722k runs pretty darn warm but never gives issues.

Below 120F consistently is fine, 140F and above is guaranteed trouble.

I try to keep mine around 105F or so, which is fairly easy with a small external usb fan.

This is really old news. Most of us knew that 5 yrs ago! don't get addicted to watching your temps Its fruitless

I can tell you from personal experience it's not fruitless.

I get a 722K on September 2011. A few weeks later, it started freezing and rebooting, especially when I was adding timers.

I found this thread. I used a fan on the back left side and lowered the average temperature from 140 to now which is 95.

And I haven't had any problems since.

So either overheating is the problem or it's just a big coincidence.

I don't think it is a coincidence. I had the same problem the first week I got 722s back in 2007. Fans did the trick.

An avg temp of 140 will fry a 722.
