Why is this? For what you're using the PC for, I'm really curious to why you insist on a i7.

IMO, SFF PCs run hotter due to small space for ventilation and inadequate cooling mechanisms for that size.

You might want to consider mini or booksize PC. There are also units pre-built such as the eee box PC:
