u cant use anything else higher then 40mm...
hence, the max u can go with is the Scythe SCKZT-1000

Very nice setup...

This quad-core cpu it only this motherboard is very good for heavy emulators ? And a few games on windows, like the Valve's Steam Indie Games ?

If yes, maybe i buy one of this..

Hi Eskro,

Thanks for these great threads : )

I currently have a 2011 Mac Mini but i have decided i will replace it with a A6 or A8 running XBMC with a couple of Blu Ray drives.

Do you know of any small cases that can accept 2 optical drives? I have many Blu Ray discs some local Australian discs and some US Blu Ray discs. Instead of trying to find firmware hacks to allow multi region playback, i thought 1 drive for Aus discs, 1 drive for US discs would be a nice clean solution, i just can't find any nice cases.

Cheers

Steve

Hi eskro
Thank you for your effort and hard work, this is the first I like to wrote you. Wink

Please one question I have.
AMD A6-3600 4x2.1Ghz/2.4Ghz HD6530D FM1 65W
didn't exist here anymore here where I live.
I can buy
AMD A6-3650 APU, 2.6GHz, Socket FM1, 4C/4T
Is this the follower version? With more power?
Can I buy this AMD CPU?
With the same Motherboard >
ASRock A75M-ITX FM1 CIR USB3.0 SATAIII UEFI mITX
??
Thank you
Lejla

eskro · 2012-01-25 01:07

Hi eskro, thank you very much for your fast respond.

you wont regret it!
the A6-3500 is the best current HTPC APU in my opinion!
