Has anyone come up with a solution to the rediculous (seemingly) temperature that the SAS chip gets to on this board?
I've done my setup with 6 disks on the LSI SAS ports in IT mode over the weekend (and its not yet running inside a case as it's not arrived yet so i imagine that will help at least a little) but the SAS chip is too hot to touch, ive just put a low flow 40mm fan on top of it since and its been a perfectly acceptable temperature (probably less hot than the other low profile heatsink on whatever the other chip is on the board, easily keep you finger on the heatsink indefinitely).
I *guess* that it running that hot is within spec but I still dont REALLY want the controller for my array at fleshsearing temperatures once I have it inside the case and running day to day. Im toying with the idea of putting a large passive heatsink on or finding a way once its in the case to get airflow over it as the CPU heatsink doesn't blow air anywhere near.
