[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 7556, member: 10287"] jcee: 1) The noisiest part on the msi is the nothbridge fan. At least with the 651 case. I replaced it with a Zalman passive cooler (3 EUR + 3 hours work) which made it a lot more quiet. It is said that you dont need any cooling on the northbridge if you use an extra grafics card (no garantees for this tip from my side) 2) Use a passive grafics card without fan. 3) The msi is still too noisy in my mind. I thought about a athlon with cool & quit technology if I had to change my htpc. Power consumption and heat go down when using mediaportal and you have enough power for games or converting movies or whatever. tomtom21000 [/QUOTE]
