[QUOTE="jcee, post: 15920, member: 10506"] First of all: Thank you for your hints. I decided to bought a Athlon 64 2800+ NEWCASTLE (though I had the chance to get a Sempron 3000+ for the same price) I also bought a MSI K8MM-V miniATX board together with an Artic Silencer Ultra TC which is temperature controlled (TC). I have to say, it is very quiet. I am very picky in regard to noise and I sold my MSI MegaPC because I found it to be too noisy... I used CrystalCPUID to lower the voltages for each multiplier about 10% and setup the multiplier management where the hyserese of the steps is quite big. Means the CPU must really run max, till CrystalCPU goes one step up.. - max State. 9x, 1.400V (instead of 1.500V) approx 80W - mid State. 6x, 1.250V (instead of 1.300V) approx 32W - min State. 4x, 1.050V (instead of 1.100V) approx 20W Doing this I force the system to stay in 4x most of the times, .. with some codecs it needs more power, but then 6x is sufficient.. :-) I also switched of all fan control and let the CPU fan do the control. Most of the time it spins at 1000RPM... :-) I can really recommend this approach!!!!! Really nice [/QUOTE]
