SilenX EFX-08-12 80mm Case Fan, SilenX EFX-08-15 80mm Case Fan, Noctua NF-R8-1800 80mm Case Fan.....

I can vouch for the Noctua, though as beer said case fan may not be needed.

I'm planning to try taking my fan cage out when I get a chance!
After you take the cage out and it is still running hot and noisy, install a couple Noctua's will help reduce heat and noise......

I have been having this problem since day one. I have connected the htpc with a hdmi cable to my 23in sony lcd tv. When i power on the htpc. it first flashes on the top right conner 1024x760 / 60 then it flashes again. Then windows logo come up saying starting windows. Then it goes black again and has flashing 1360x768 / 60 then after few seconds the window login screen comes. Is this normal is any one else having this problem. I went to device manger and under monitors it say's generic pnp monitor then i went to display,screen resolution and next to display it say's sony tv and on resolution it say's 1360 x 768 am i doing anything wrong

I just don't know why my cpu fan speed is so high after seeing your screen shot. In my bios in advanced\CPU Configuration

Core C6 Mode - Enabled
Cstate Pmin Mode - Disabled
Cool 'n' Quiet - Enabled
SVM - Enabled
CPU Thermal Throttle - Auto

CPU Fan 1 & 2 Setting - Automatic mode
Target CPU Temperature 50/122
Target Fan Speed Level 1

Is that the same as your's beer. So far my bootup time is 27 seconds to login in screen and after loged in it's 33 seconds haven't done the eskro optimize ssd yet will do that after my new picopsu comes and hopefully works

Yes now its hard to say.... many different components you have also. They all vary. The SSD optimization won't change your boot times.... it helps the SSD live longer.
Well if you had a Big Shuriken it may not be the same as mine because you are using an A8.....

You had to test.... ok bye.

Throw a couple Silenx or Noctua fans in there......it'll help.......and it is among the lowest dBA too....when the temp stay low, the RPM will stay low too which mean low noise.....
