Mine is XG110. My original setup was on the table without any fan mod. The temperature creeps slowly when I am watching a movie. I don't know how high it will go, but the temperature is moving till the movie ends. This make mine horizontal convergence drift and annoying me. I tried to solve it. There is a extra fan power socket on HV board, so I add an extra fan for the heatsink on DEF board. But it doesn't work and just creeps more slowly.
Now my setup was to mount on the ceiling, mod side fans to low speed ones, iverse side fans direction, and add 6 12cm low speed extra fans on the top to help draw more air. But it doesn't work.
Is there new idea for me? I can't add a powerful with a long tube on another room. It is difficult in Taiwan unless very rich man.

I dont know alot about the XG SYC, but how long is this heat sink youre talking about mate? Which part of it is the hottest? Where is the heat coming from? There will be one or more items causing this heat build up, and itll be easier to figure out the issue if you know what part is causing the heat. Wink

Your chassis has always done this. We never figured it out.

XG deflection boards run cold in my experience (I have my fan almost stopped).


Did you ever try a different deflection board?

Could this have anything to do with the way it was initially set up?

I should say it is warm. I can touch it. But but it creeps slowly so that my horizontal convergnece drifts. Maybe it will be stable after a few hours, but I can't wait so long before watching a movie. I don't have other part to test. I am running 1080i or 720P, which are not too hard. It seems that I have to find another deflection board to test.

When you set it up did you leave it run for 30 minutes or so then angle the tubes to line up the convergence cross in the middle of your screen with the rasters all centered on the tube faces and the convergence settings all set to their neutral positions?

It creeps slowly during the whole movie, so even though I wait 30 minutes for warm up, it still drift after 30-minute waiting.
