works, but is very hot is normal?

Just make sure there are enough ventilation(cooling fans to draw the heat out of your computer, and make sure the heat from the computer can get out freely), and finally, put the computer far away from you so you don't feel the heat.

I've this card for about 9 months mounted in a mini ITX case, and the temperature holds pretty steady at 61 degrees C. No problems so far.

It does not get hot but I would be cautious just the same. The face where the sir comes out is the hottest.

I don't know if this normal but mine has continued to work even though it gets hot.

Yes this is normal. It will be hot to the touch but I don't think it will cause blistering. When you install it the pump to the filter, make sure you breathing room at the bottom vent.

Extremely hot. I suspect 950. It was almost too hot. I ended up getting a variable temperature one.

I don't recall it getting that hot. We use it in our bathroom which is about 6 X 8 and I never noticed it getting that hot. I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about as far a safety. I just know it has worked very well for us the past 2 winters and we have enjoyed it. We will be using it here very soon and if I do notice anything I will let you know.

I need to correct my statement to you. Yes, it is hot to the touch. Apparently I hadn't noticed until you asked and after I responded to you. Sorry about that.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

"hot enough" may not help you. More specifically, two temp settings are approximately 480F/250C and 660F/350C.

Fill at 7:30 am and it is flaming hot at noon still. By 3:00 it is warm. Works pretty well...

I don't know how hot yours used to get, but mine gets very hot. I can only use it on the lowest setting which is one out of four.

Just as others have said, it is passive cooling and I have had some drives doing intensive work run on it for some days. The drives do get hot (or a lot warmer than usual) but nothing bad has happened. I will say that for regular work it should be fine but for intensive work, just keep an eye out. Also since it is passive cooling the temperature of your environment matters if you are in a very hot environment (climate or place) versus a cooler environment (my environment is mostly cool in temperature).

To the degree that you are pumping out warm water, it may be warm. But if it's actually too hot to touch, something is wrong. It's working too hard.

The cord does get warm but not hot. The instruction manual says this is normal.
