RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - tutu - 2013-12-03 Does the i3 run cooler and thus runs the fan lower than the i5? Is there anything missing from the i3? Or are they the same? I have the i5 and would rather have as quiet as possible. I can passively cool it but having a cooler running system helps. The i5 has a lower base clock but more GPU. Is there a way to disable EU cores? Thanks RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Maniac - 2013-12-03 Is the i5 really that loud? I am getting the i5, if it gets too loud I will probably get me one of those passive-cooled cases. Like this one from Streacom http://www.streacom.com/products/nc1-fanless-chassis/ RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - tutu - 2013-12-03 It's not loud but I accidentally switched it on when I was sleeping and the fan drone was annoying. It was idling on xbmc dashboard. My tv fans are louder. The dashboard doesn't idle the CPU but there was no RSS feeds so not sure if CPU was idle or not. The i5 is overkill anyway so fast. At the moment in openelec I am missing adjust refreshrate to match video and there is no ac3 passthrough. I am using mini dp to hdmi. I have a mini hdmi to hdmi cable on order tho. It's unusuable at the moment. Sound is distorted. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - nickr - 2013-12-03 XBMC main menu can use more cpu than playing a movie. Crazy but true.

I tried Win 7 + XBMC on my NUC and it stutters (more). But perhaps it's my lack of RAM. Today I'm getting additional 2GB and then I'll see. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - tutu - 2013-12-03 I used a AMD A6 5400k before and that flies with xbmc on windows 8. 4gb at least for windows.

Yep, especially with some of the MQ skins CPU usage will go through the roof when sitting idle on the main menu and "Movies" are highlighted. Anyway, you can totally control how loud the fans are going to be in the BIOS. It's not an issue. The machine is barely drawing any power during playback or real idle and is completely silent.

You can just leave it on all the time.

Been reading this thread with great interest, as i have an i5 NUC. For the life of me, I can't get the CIR working. I've read, and re-read, the threads on how to fix it (the workaround). I'm not a Linux expert, but my trouble seems to be that I can't actually modify the resources file for the NTN0530. I do the 'echo "auto"...' Command, and then cat the file, and its no different. I've played with permissions (chmod) to no avail. The resources file always starts with "status = disabled". I've verified CIR is enabled in BIOS. Not a BIOS issue. I just upgraded to bios 21. No change in behavior. CIR still not working at all. If OpenElec can work, there's no reason Mint can't work. Really hoping someone seeing this will have a suggestion or two for debugging this...I've no idea how to tell if the driver is actually connecting to the hardware or not. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - arokh - 2013-12-03 You need to be root. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - micoba - 2013-12-03 Please guys, am I the only one having less performance in Windows - even now with 4GB of RAM? The XBMC movie playback is stuttering when browsing through menus - that never happend to me in Openelec... Does standby work for you in Windows? I thought that was just a Linux IR Problem? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Crssi - 2013-12-03 No problem here on Win 8.1 RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - lmyllari - 2013-12-03 (2013-12-03, 16:32)musicman_234 Wrote: Not a BIOS issue.

See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=176718&pid=1546387#pid1546387 for my steps when testing on Ubuntu. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - tutu - 2013-12-03 Anybody else using mini-dp to hdmi and having issues with no sync refresh rate to video option and passthrough options not appearing? I will have to wait a few days for a mini hdmi to hdmi cable. According to the manual pass through (Dolby TrueHD etc etc) should be supported on the mini-DP - could be a kernel issue not exposing it? or a openelec issue? How to go about reporting it? EDIT: Forget everything I said.. there is an advanced mode you have to toggle! |
