Is it a UPS? Have you got your whole Home Cinema setup tied into it? One another note my Intel CIR has finally arrived from the states - wooo! Will just have to find some time and brain power to get it repinned and installed RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

Plugged unRAID into wall socket for demo! RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - JoeBar - 2012-05-11 This stinks for you guys Good luck! Mine is seemingly still running fine. Watched a couple movies straight thru w/o issue and haven't had any problems while working at the desktop updating and hacking about. I still have pagefile, system restore and all that junk turned on. Are your systems just straight powering off or blue-screening? Are any wires or components overheating? A6-3500 Same Kingston memory from the first post -- set to 1866 and 1.5V in bios Crucial M4 64GB The Scythe 1100 fan and included case fan Using the 90W PS from Ebay Idle draw was 22-23W, at 1080P I think it was like 37W and 720p around 34W. knock on wood!

Prime95 nope will shut off..... Mine was fine 3 weeks.... Hope yours keeps going! RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - MrKay - 2012-05-11 Beer do you think without out the bracket i can fit a Noctua NH-L12 which is 92mm with one fan ? Did a few testing with power meter. On start up it goes up to 56w to 70w. Then just before login screen around 40w then once logged in and not doing nothing it's at 25w and some time goes to 40w. When it hits 70w to 73w computer shuts down and it happen on 53w as well shuts down. I think it's random RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - MrKay - 2012-05-11 I like that idea beer since i wont use the bd drive in there. Don't need that bracket and the ssd can go where the picopsu is at now RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-05-11 of course UPS takes its time delivering today when i am home all day from work and waiting on my picoPSU.... other days when I am at work they deliver at like 1pm... RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Dougie Fresh - 2012-05-11 Looking at your specs from the first page, I don't see this build needing a picoPSU-150. I've run more on a 120W DC / 84W AC adapter. That means I had 84W to work with but even stuffed to the gills I never saw more than 70W using Prime95. Here's what I've run with a 12V 7A 84W AC adapter: i3-2100 ASUS P8H61-I motherboard 4GB RAM 64GB SDD 250GB 2.5" HDD slot-load DVD PowerColor HD5450 GPU USB IR receiver USB RF keyboard receiver Have you tried running a memory test? Also, best $14.99 I ever spent was a PSU tester. RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

"A6-PACK" - MrKay - 2012-05-11 I have installed xmbc but when i play a movie in 5.1 with digital cable the receiver switches on to 5.1 but then when movie is playing the sound goes and comes again and that's like every 2 secs. does anyone know what kind of codec i will need RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!
