<br>I don't know how much power capture cards with hardware encoding<br>consume, but they seem to get pretty warm. My PVR-350 has a heatsink<br>on the video chip.</blockquote><div><br>Was that heatsink there when you bought it, or did you add it yourself? I've found that the PVR cards are easily the hottest components in my backend/frontend computer next to the PSU, even with a dual 4-disk RAID5 in there.
