I have an AMD processor and the noise is not that bad. The motherboard is an old Asus A7V. The motherboard supports fan speed control, but it never actually worked. Asus probably got it working in later versions of the MB. I would like to know what are the thermal solutions for new CPUs having to dissipate 100W of heat.
I built a system for my mother using the ASUS A7V board the thing is dead-quiet. My mum turns off the monitor when she's not using it and I've often made the mistake of turning off the computer (thinking I was turning it on). The secret is the Antec case, despite dual-fan power supply + CPU fan + GPU fan + 2 case fans + 2 hard drives it is virtually silent. Not all Antec cases are so quiet though, I bought one for myself later without paying too much attention to the model and despite being quieter and cooler than the POS I was using before it's nowhere near as quiet as my mothers (her's may be an SX1135 but don't quote me on it). -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
