[mythtv-users] OT: EPIA 800 Fan is noisy

[Steve Smith]

I used to have one of these. A Zalman Northbridge Heatsink should cool it on
its own. I aimed a very quiet 12cm fan in its rough general area as well,
but that was probably overkill. When it was working HARD it would get
11degrees C hotter than ambient, so very very cool.

Cheers

Steve
