If it is free, I don't think they are afraid of it. They just don't want to pay extra money on another cooler....

I use stock AMD cooler and case fan on my AMD HTPC, and it is very quiet with AsRock options. I have to put my ear by the case when playback blu-ray in full 1080P and bitstreaming HD audio to hear it......it is dead silient from the seating area....

It was noisy without AsRock options.....

AsRock "Cool ‘n’ Quiet" option and set cpu/case fans level to 5 should be quieter than stock configurations.....and everything can be configured in AsRock bios.......if you are okay with overall temp, you can lower cpu/case fans level lower too....

The amd stock is not bad when i set to level 1 and 50C, I don't quite recall how loud it was on full but then the scythe 1100 is not exactly quiet on full either.

BTW I notice the asrock bios screen hw monitor is very good at stressing the cpu, when I just sits there from kill-a-watt it consumes as much power as prime for me....heh.

@bluray,
BTW saw 2125 for 119 the other day @microcenter and couldn't resist, now that my a6 is moved to a isk300 case I'm going to try stuff this into a isk100 and see how it goes Wink

That is excellent price for Intel i3-2125 with HD3000.....you'll smile after you done. Disable DXVA2 and everything esle in XBMC settings/video/playback and disable "Use a fullscreen window rather than a true fullscreen", it'll do 1080P and bitstreaming with ease.......
