QUOTE(nas @ Mar 14 2009, 09:09 PM) guys, is your htpc power supply fan loud? just bought one unit with a built-in psu (300w) and the sound of the fan is quite loud. other than that, everything is pretty much ok. then consider a 3rd party PSU which is using 12cm fan..  |

As long as ur PC powerful enuff, no need to tweak...even i watch HD movies also don't bother...as since my LCD TV looks great anyway.. I prefer to use PURECODEC Player which based on KMPlayer to upscale RMVB video.. My setting is simple as pictures i attached..

Case is small, no alternative location for your psu also..
Anyway, i think the PSU is not the main criteria to your hot temp.. I suggest u to put a side cooling fan on the case as i see no fan there.. Or change your psu to the type which has fan at the bottom as it will suck the hot air from bottom to outside.. |
