Bay Trail-D motherboards
My Q1900B-ITX HTPC I have in my bedroom has only holes around the top edges and hardly gets warm to the touch. I wouldn't be too concerned.

I had that one with a celeron 847U ... and that overheated quite easily ...

Edit: But yeah TDP is approx half of the baytrail.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

If needed you can drill a bit more holes, every car repare shop would do it for 10$!

And your System consist of?

I need a tester, does not matter, which Baytrail System. We are currently thinking of giving VPP, the vaapi postprocessing lib a second chance. sraue of OpenELEC has put together a build, which you can use for testing. The advantage of VPP is only used when you watch LiveTV which is interlaced.

Can test with DN2820FYK. Just tag me in a reply when the build is up (@kib)

It's the case/system we're talking about Smile: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1713887

just got this "ALTERNATIVE NUC....SOUND PROOF" 4 days ago:

* MS-Tech CI-70 (including, PicoPSU 120W)
* ASRock Q1900B (Quad-Celeron 2ghs-2,5ghz/MiniITX) (Q1900B-ITX)
* KINGSTON SSDNow 60GB V300 SATA3 6,4cm (SV300S37A/60G)
* Kingston 4GB Modul 1600MHz Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM 1_35V (KVR16LS11/4)
Price, DK, 225 Euro´s (we have 25% tax in DK)! Good price!

BTW, same case with the C1037U motherboard and no heat issues. I removed the case fan about put a resistor on the CPU fan too. I didn't see it go over 62C in Prime95.

Sorry, i have lost the thread Smile

I don't think Baytrail have Problems in this Case, but i want it for an stronger CPU:
"Then maybe you can also run there an i3 or i5"

I've built a few i3 systems in the version of this case that has a slot-load optical drive and it's fine. They run warm but not hot. I would expect better performance from the version shown here without the optical drive sitting over the CPU fan. It's even better if you can use a motherboard that has built-in power and an mSATA drive so there are no wires to reduce the airflow.

What i3 do you exactly build in? How can fritsch have problems with an 17W TDP Celeron 847 and you have no Probs with
an i3 with 54W TDP?

i3-3225 (several) and i3-4130 (one).

As for fritsch, it's not clear which case fritsch is referring to, the CI-70/HT-70 or the SH-55 above fritsch's post. The SH-55, the little black one, is pretty much Atom or Baytrail Celeron only though I did manage to build an i3-4130 with ASUS H81T/CSM in one that ran well and that I talked about in another thread here.

Still no link for the OE build ? See you tomorrow, then Smile

Thanks,
Will test it on Q1900-ITX tomorrow.

Can we please stop calling everything that's miniature a NUC alternative? The NUC is A LOT smaller than the mini-itx motherboard used here http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q1900B-ITX/

Comparing the two form factors is like comparing ATX to mATX.

NUC (UCFF): 10.16 × 10.16 cm(4 × 4 inches)
Mini-ITX: 17 × 17 cm (6.7 × 6.7 in)

Not to mention the NUC doesn't need anything but memory and an HDD/SSD, it's a much more elegant and clean solution. It's very misleading for people who are actually considering a NUC, which are very highly recommended for people who aren't interested in building a traditional HTPC box.

I don't think he is referring to SH-55, cause it's not available here in Europe.

Did run prime95 alle Night, motherboard outside 48C, cores 65-67, cpu in all 58 (speedfan).
