RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Wookie - 2012-05-09 10:46 I just got all of my stuff in the mail and plan to start working on this. Wish me luck
RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Bobur - 2012-05-09 17:35 Just want to say i built a system with almost identical specs as OP. Thanks for the detailed information and guides! Made the install quite easy. (BTW i don't have a 'thanks' button yet else i would have clicked yours!) Antec ISK300-65 Asrock A75M AMD A6-3500 (why would anyone need faster) Scythe Shuriken (regular one) 8GB Corsair 1600 Ram Corsair 128GB SSD Only thing left to do is remove the god awful case fan. Not sure whether to get Noctua or Sharkoon. Any thoughts? Re: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - deibit - 2012-05-09 17:58 I have exactly this case, with a Zotac d2700, 4GB ram, and a Kingston msata SSD. The power brick was not able to give enough juice to my setup.I could have upgraded the power brick, but I went to a 90W PicoPSU with a 120W 12V power brick. That's the perfect combination, the case has much less cable clutter. I even removed the pitchy case fan. everything runs cool as ice. Re: RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

I just replaced the stock fan and added second with Enermax UC-8EB fan's - very quite and move around 24cfm. $8 each on NewEgg, definitely recommend them!

Oh wow your stock case fan is loud? at the lowest setting? Mine is not!..... wonder why...... I actually now ordered new RAM, my Kingsotne one sitck got defective..... ![]() Anyways..... when i redo it again..... I am going to take out the whole fan cage..... You actually don't need it. And it looks cool you can see the inside. I tested and the RPM's and temps lower too with out the cage fan..... You can try taking it out..... I know you got the regular Shuriken 1100 ...... give it a shot let us know your before temps and after temps also the RPM on the shuriken.... thanx...... Use this for temps..... with in windows.... http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/52164566/file.html Re: RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

Without the case fan the CPU idles around 50C with fan at lowest speed, when idling on the XBMC screen the CPU heats up above 50C causing the fan to spin up. With the case fan the CPU is a lot cooler, around 40C and the shuriken fan is slower. In my case without the case fan it can get noisier because the CPU fan spins up too much. With the case fan the temps are a lot cooler and the CPU fan always stays low. I have very sensitive hearing though, a lot of my friends can't hear noises i complain about A nice PWM case fan might help. I was thinking of dual PWM noctua's but they are expensive, otherwise the sharkoon but that doesn't come with a Y splitter as default. Should be quiet and keep the insides of the case nice and cool helping everything last longer.
