Question - I have the original i3 NUC bought back when it was just out on the market, and was debating about upgrading to the new Haswell one for improved 24p playback stability (moving the current one to another room - and yes, I do actually notice the 24p issue).
Does anyone know if you can still set the minimum fan speed in the BIOS? On my current one it came set to a nearly inaudible level, but then due to overheating when a WiFi card was installed Intel raised the default level in newer BIOS versions to something definitely not inaudible. Since I don't have WiFi or overheating issues, I lowered mine back down to the original setting (20% I believe) and have never experienced any problems in months and months of daily use. I'm assuming I could probably do similarly on the Haswell version, if only the setting's still there.

I just tried the new Nightly (OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-devel-20131118054842-r16387) -> Black Screen
Its kinda funny but now i am the one to have Problems with the Nuc keeping rebooting...
But its different then before, first shutdown it reboots immidiatly, second shutdown it stays off...and this happens EVERY time,
i did NO changes to BIOS...began setting it back to default...same Problem...activated S4/S5 again...same Problem...really tried everything :/
Thinking more about it, it cant be BIOS setting Problems since i did not change anything..
BUT suspend works now for me which kinda eliminates the need for complete Shutdown nearly.
Before Gotham if i used Suspend, xbmc just switched to Home Screen, now it goes to i dont know what Sleep Mode but the Nuc behaves like compl. turned OFF.
When i wake it up using WOL it starts immidiatly at the XBMC Homescreen so no booting required...hm..

Finally got my ssd. I have installed win7 and as others have suggested, it just work!! No display issues, remote works.
One thing though, remote won't work immediately after a fresh install of win7. I was using windows media center for testing, but the remote won't work. You have to make some registry changes in order to get it to work (or use tweakMC, which basically change some registry values for you). I guess xbmc installation will do the registry change for you, so that's why remote will work without issues once xbmc is installed.

With Win or Ubuntu Full installed are u able to set it up to act like openelec,
so it directly boots into XBMC?
