I'm using PXE boot and with a 3rd party processor fan (silenx 60mm + adaptor)
it is silent.

Don't rely on 6 channel audio out of an SP1300 unless you're using the S/PDIF
output. The 'Smart 5.1' on this card (VIA 8237 with VIA1617A) isn't supported
on Linux at the moment. Unless someone out there can prove me wrong and tell
