RE: Nobody using Intel NUC out there ?

Hi and thanks a lot for the helpful advice.
I think that internal pc noise can be really an issue with PCI cards with an spdif out, that set the clock.
When power isolated usb transmission is used i do not know.
Maybe the pc ps noise is not so impacting on performance.
OS instead is another issue and i think that not all OS are equally good.
For instance, i have already got many opinions about 8.1 being better than 7.

My main concern is the " acoustic noise " from the NUC fan (i have not experienced it yet but i am reading many people complaining about it)
I think that because it is very small it must rotate at a very high speed and this causes the loud noise.
A slower speed will reduce its efficiency but also the noise and in many normal use conditions could be the solution.
I have a nice programm that monitors the T of the cpu cores ... a very nice program indeed.
I will check with the pc as stock and then i will try to slow down this bloody fan ... i wonder if any quieter replacement is available.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg
