[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1226940, member: 141969"] Actually, joecrow, I think mm was suggesting that the fans are noisier because they are spinning more quickly, and that they are spinning more quickly because the cooling fins and/or vents are clogged with dust -- so a good "seeing to" with a vacuum cleaner might provide some benefit. :D Worth trying, I think. Yes, I do have a currently unused retail Windows 7 licence, which I purchased specifically for this new HTPC build. I purchased a new laptop last year, complete with Windows 10, but I have since installed Windows 7 on that too (different licence), in a dual-boot configuration. There are some things that I like about Windows 10, but I think that even the 1703 edition is still a "work in progress". After several more years, Microsoft will (hopefully) have reversed some of the aggressive decisions they made in Windows 10 (such as not being able to disable Windows Update easily). Fortunately, the new laptop uses an Intel Skylake processor, which is still supported with updates from Microsoft for Windows 7. Kaby Lake is the replacement for Skylake, and Microsoft are [i]not[/i] providing Windows 7 updates for Kaby Lake. Thanks for mentioning this. Mostly I was curious about possible dependencies arising from different TVs having different behaviour, and how MP handles that. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
