[QUOTE="r32godzilla, post: 54004, member: 11601"] Hehe sorry I can't be sensible. A mate gave me a P4EE 3.73ghz CPU for my HTPC system. Been having a great time getting a nice balance of cool/quiet. So far I have reduced the CPU temperature under heavy load in ambient 22c room from 59-62c back to 52c. Have the following setup: Intel P4EE 3.73Ghz CPU Gigabyte GA-8I945P-G-RH Motherboard 512MB DDR-2 RAM Gigabyte Radeon X300 PCI-E 256MB Video card (passive cooled) Maxtor 120GB DiamondMax 10 SATA HDD DVICO Fusion PCI HDTV card Generic Midi Tower Case Atrix extreme power 650watt power supply (silent, seperate 12v rails, dual fan, adjustable speed control) Gigabyte Neon Pro 775 series CPU cooler 10.8cm (speed adjustable fan) Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II 12cm(Adjustable speed fan, mounted at rear of case) Will probably get another Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II 12cm fan for the front intake and see how we go. The HTPC is sitting inside a well ventilated cupboard (back of cupboard is removed,slits at front) in an entertainment unit in the Loungeroom. Its good in the cupboard because theres less noise, but still need to see how hot in gets in there over a few days testing. Can upload some pics if anyone is interested. Cheers, Jason. [/QUOTE]
