[QUOTE="Wonderm00n, post: 184264, member: 56445"] Hi there, I'm sick of struggling with my HTPC to make it quieter and cooler... My main problem resides on the CPU: a P4 3.0 which is a hot bitch! Also the case does not help (3RSYS HT-1100). So I think I really need to change CPU, and off course :( motherboard... What (cheap) CPU do you recommend, that is obviously more performant than the current one, and runs (much) cooler? Damn... I didn't want to spend more money but I guess I'll just have to! :mad: [/QUOTE]
