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

[Derek Conniffe]

I've taken to disconnecting (snipping) the + connector to the CPU fans and
connecting it to the red 5V wire on a spare hard disk connector - I'm sure
this is pretty bad but it makes the fans a lot quieter (they run slower
and the RPM, and CPU temp, can be read with lm_sensors).
