[QUOTE="chlopak, post: 617045, member: 103712"] Great mini system got the MP45-BDR - Been running with this for almost a year now and its been really great. Most importantly keeps the wife happy as its small and quiet. My set up my Aopen MP45-BDR is: [B]CPU:[/B] Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile X9100 3.06Ghz [B]RAM:[/B] 4GB DDR2 [B]HDD[/B] Hitachi 7200rpm 320GB 2.5 HDD [B]miniPCI-e:[/B] HP Tv Tuner Aver A310 - not really working [B]USB:[/B] Aver USB Tv Tuner - this one works. I've purchased the Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile X9100 cpu to replace the P8400 and this has made a big difference in response to mediaportal. However I'm finding that the fan is working more times than not and have had to revert to the old cpu. It was hitting a max 85 degress on one core and about 65 deg on the other. Didn't want to leave it as the wife was starting to notice the noise. Running the P8400 I noticed the temps range from 35 up to about 50 under load and the fan starts spinning when it hits about 50 deg. At idle the X9100 is sitting about 46 deg in both cores and easily jump over 50 deg when even idling. Did you use your own cpu heatsink compound? Or am I missing something? Cheers [/QUOTE]
