How to Minimize Heat to your Nfusion

How to Minimize Heat to your Nfusion
Just in case some of you do not know, there are a couple of things that you can do to help reduce the effect of heat in your nfusion box.

1) the biggest and most important thing to notice is that when you receive your nfusion box new, the front panel is not the only place that the protective peel-off "skin" is applied. There is also a transparent film on the whole cover of the box that is a pain to peel off. It's a pain, but it's a good thing to do because it allows heat exchange from the box much better. With the film on, the film acts like a sort of "blanket".

2) There's a piece of plastic inside the receiver next to the power supply that serves to direct heat inward instead of letting it radiate out and away from the box.

After opening up the box, You first remove the screw from the motherboard as it appears from the layout of the plastic sheild that the screw goes through a hole in the shield. See the photos. Then you basically get a good set of pliers, get a nice firm grip on the plastic, and pull firmly but in a controlled fashion, and the card will come out.

put the screw back in and close up the box, and you're good to go.

Hopefully these two tricks will help keep the heat generated form this box to a minimum. it seems to run a little warmer than most boxes and i think the reason for that is there is not a lot of empty space inside compared to most FTA boxes.

I'm attaching detailed pictures so the process should be very simple.

Remove the Plastic Sleeve from the Nfusion this will give dit more air flow for cooling.
