Can you check your cpu load during idle to see if anything is running? My stock stock rev B. fan is very quiet when power down, I set it to level 1 it was like spinning at 500 rpm in xbmc. I did replace the stock fan with a noctua but from beer it you set the antec fan to low it should be quiet as well.


Waver123 i'll check first thing 2moro morning. Hopefully my picopsu 120w comes.

Well got my 90W PICO..... Recommend by the PICO guy! Dougie Fresh

This build is magic now! I tested with Prime95 and BAM! No more reboots!!!!!

This PICO is truly magic.

Now I have taken the FAN CAGE, BRACKET out.....

Used one double sided velcro to attach the ssd and a lots of zip ties... Smile

No need to drill nothing with this PICO..... use the stock hole.

Well here is a video for you guys to see how clean of a build this is....

I am making more videos to show you guys temps as I am running a movie now to show.

Thanx to all who helped..... Nod





Oh yes the seller of the PICO was so nice also to trow in the EU cord.... just have to ask. Smile

beer can you see if u can play 5.1 surround sound with a toslink. I have an old av receiver that does not take hdmi. And i normally can play 5.1 from my laptops headphone socket in windows 7 but in my new built htpc for some reason when i play with the toslink in xmbc or media player classic or any other media players The sound is out of sync. the sound comes and goes. But if i use the hdmi with my tv i can hear the sound is in sync but play's in 2 channel. Am thinking if something is wrong with my motherboard since i have a few days left to exchange it if there is a problem with my motherboard. I have download all the drivers you and blu have said to download from asrock site for it to be able to play 5.1 in xmbc thanks

I will be differently upgrading my cpu cooler now to the 2100. what's the 2100 max TDP. I can't find it any where in google for some strange reason. Is it a max TDP of 100w ?


RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - eskro - 2012-05-15 01:46

eskro has the TDP in his HTPC guide MrKAy.

Thanks eskro. Stupid me lol should have checked your guide. I do normally check your guide tho. Am so hooked on htpc after coming to the forum. If everything works out for me. I'll be posting my new build around september with a OrigenAE M10 just saw that case and am in love lol

Yeah it's so nice looking. I just saw the case yes2day and i was like. I must have this case even tho it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg lol. But what am gonna do is keep the build i have now and put it in that case then when amd kaveri come's out will upgrade the internal then. No point upgrading to trinity. Because that way i have to buy motherboard and cpu and i will have to upgrade again when kaveri come's out. Plus kaveri has a 7750 gpu built in to the cpu
