It's actually running a Core 2 Duo E6700 @2.66GHz and 2x2Gigs DDR2 PC6400 Crucial and I would like to know if i can upgrade the CPU, because I find that the E6700 is powerful but hot.
Do you happen to remember your processor's SSPEC number? The SL9S7's idle current consumption is approximately double that of the SL9ZF, and since your processor spends most of its time idle, this is a significant factor in chip temperature. If you have an SL9S7, swapping it for an SL9ZF would probably help a lot.
One data point, possibly helpful: In my Pro Pioneer, a 2.4GHz E6600 SL9ZL (with the same low-power optimizations as the E6700 SL9ZF), runs cooler than the standard 1.8GHz E2160.
Thank you for your answer but I am already with a SL9ZF ;-)
But I am using transcoding a lot with AirVideo for streaming on my iPad and iPhone.
