    Yes it is!!!

    I'm thinking of cooling my cpu passively and using a quiet but fan-cooled PSU or as alternative using a quiet cpu-fan and a passive CPU.

    Your tests are very appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,

    Michael

    I bought myself a Zalman ZM460-APS a month ago. There is a fan in it but this power supply is absolute qiet and it helps with the air flow in the case. I have a pasive CPU cooler so now the only thing I can hear is the HDD.

    Hi Tomas!

    What CPU are you using in the passive setup, and even more interesting; what passive cooler are you using ?

    Hi

    I have a Athlon 64 3000+ with a Sonic tower on top:
    http://www.thermaltake.com/product/cooler/retail/cl-p0071/cl-p0071.asp

    Now this CPU cooler is enormus so I do not recomend it in a smal HTPC box, but it keeps the CPU temp low whitout a fan.

    Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up? Those menu...
