OT: Mini-ITX Motherboards

cgrafx,

R1: I am using a Noctua NH-L9i 95mm cooler.

I was thinking there might be a thin fan cooler, but didn't do any research. Looks like that should work well.


R2: That does not concern me at all as I will only be using eight channels at the most.

Figured you were already aware of the limitation, but just wanted to point it out just in case.

If/when you get the system together do report back on your experience. Its always good to have additional reference points for future system configurations.

...I will make sure that I do.

What is particular interesting is that In Win seems somewhat keen on the whole process as well. They have even made a offer to assist me in noise issues if they present a concern - which, interestingly, they state should not.

averombri,
...How are you finding the "fan noise levels" - I have heard nothing all that great about 1U chassis.

it has a bearable noise level, but i had to remove the original 40 mm. fans and installed a low noise ones, not so powerful air flow now but never had a heating mess...
