[QUOTE="armandp, post: 258514, member: 71896"] I will create a short video/picture slideshow soon. I didn't even attach the cooler to the scythe. The case fans are on LOW (1200rpm), pretty silent and create enough airflow through/over the cooler. I also don't have heat problems although it seems the northbridge on this motherboard is always "hot" by default (idle: 81 degrees). Planning to get a passive chipset cooler for that. Also i want control over the case fans so i maybe have to swap them with other 120mm coolers that can be controller by the motherboard :) In my case the BE-2400 is not fast enough to [U]software[/U] decode a 1080p @5.1 so i have overclocked it to be slightly faster than the minimum required CPU speed. This is only for the older x264 media i have that did not use the 4.1 profile. With DVXA (hardware acceleration) enabled all is offloaded to the GPU and the CPU power isn't an issue. [/QUOTE]
