Re: Haswell comes to NUC
Actually what has been stated is that it will be less expensive than the current Haswell lineup, and based on the Bay Trail platform. http://hexus.net/tech/news/systems/60085-exclusive-intel-launch-139-bay-trail-nucs-q1-2014/ At least that particular model will likely not have the mSATA port on the ...

Re: Asus C8HM70-I/HDMI motherboard (Celeron 847)
Got hold of a PicoPSU 90 and tried that with the C8HM70-I/HDMI board, to see if the Akasa DC-DC board was to blame for the poor efficiency. It isn't. Compared to the DC-DC board in the Akasa, the PicoPSU cut less than one watt off the idle power usage. Both tested with a class V AC adapter. Regards,...

Re: Asus C8HM70-I/HDMI motherboard (Celeron 847)
It's a fair argument. However the current configuration suits the intended purpose just fine for now
Mighty tempted to get a PicoPSU to test with though ... Vicotnik, you have a few of these and live in Scandinavia as well - where do you source yours (including power bricks) ?

UPDATE Got the motherboard and SSD fitted into the Akasa Crypto case today. Replaced the Akasa 50mm system fan with a Scythe Mini Kaze (SY501012M) and put a resistor cable on it - 9 or 7V, haven't measured. It is inaudible at that voltage but still moves a decent amount of air - certainly significan...

Re: Asus C8HM70-I/HDMI motherboard (Celeron 847)
Tested it briefly over the weekend - the PSU I am using currently is only 80 Plus certified, so efficiency at really low loads isn't too good, so I won't go by those numbers. I have an Akasa Crypto case with external 60W PSU arriving later this week - will test again when I get it fitted into that. ...

Re: A quiet multi-disk file server that will idle <35 watts
Hi there, for a low-powered file server, the Supermicro X7SPA-HF will be a great choice. I've owned both the D510 and D525 versions of that board. For stability and ease of use, especially in a Mini-ITX form factor, nothing comes close: - Intel NICs onboard (2 of them) - Onboard IPMI with IP-KVM fun...

Re: Lian Li PC-Q09B Sandy Bridge HTPC build
Spot on. Tried testing the brick on its own (not connected to the PC) - less than 0,2 watts in standby. So it's the internal DC-DC that's sucking power.CA_Steve wrote:..it could be the internal DC-DC supply that sucks, too.
Might look at switching that around - perhaps fit a PicoPSU ?

Re: Lian Li PC-Q09B Sandy Bridge HTPC build
Okay, was able to retest with a new (German built, expensive) power meter. It would appear that the power brick supplied with the PC-Q09 is just not very good :( In 'off' state, the box draws between 1,5 and 2,5 watts. That's quite a lot in my book. The machine idles at around 32-36 watts (Windows d...

30+W idle is high. I agree completely, and suspect that my cheap and nasty power meter is at least partly to blame ... Anyhow, a new (far more expensive) power meter is on order (which can measure down to 0,2W load), so we'll see if that agrees with the old one :-) As for the power brick, I have a ...

Re: Silverstone Grandia GD05 isn't quiet
I have a GD05 myself. The 120mm fans fitted as standard in the case cannot be called quiet if they are run at 12V. If the builder of the system used the fan power splitter which is included with the case, they are indeed running at 12V. However, I find them really, really quiet if you drop them down...

Re: Lian Li PC-Q25 Mini iTX
I like this case a lot, to be honest. I have a couple of PC-Q08 cases, which are used for Home Server builds. Since I tend to use the 5.25" bay for hard drives as well, the lack of an optical drive slot is no deal breaker IMO. With a 3.5" drive in the optical bay on the PC-Q08, that can fit 7 standa...

As promised, some temperature and power measurements, as well as a short 1080p playback test to determine suitability for Blu-Ray playback when used as an HTPC. The idle power usage was a bit of a letdown, but I suspect that the 150W PSU in the ISK300-150 has pretty poor efficiency at the idle load ...
