Hello! I have a Lenovo M73 tiny which is great for HTPC (i5 4th gen-4GB ddr3-120GB intel SSD) but lately the cpu fan started to work a little more and the system becomes a little louder than usual. Could this be due to decoding more frequently HEVC nowadays? Do you think my CPU should struggle for this? I recently cleaned the PC and replaced the thermal paste but with no luck at all. Any ideas?

I checked and Intel states that it has GPU acceleration, but I'll try to avoid HEVC anyway. Thanks

Thanks. I searched and I think I'll try the i3-6100T. Any info on this cpu regarding HEVC?

Do you think a 9th gen I3 could do the job?
My main issue (excluding the low budget) is that I need a silent solution that's why I prefer lenovo/Dell micro f2f which have external psu.

That's really useful info! But where should I double check it to be sure? Do you have a trusted source?
