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.
