I have a Via Epia MII 12000 Nehemiah mobo for my storage server.
All is working well (running debian with SAMBA, Apache, MPD...)
However, while it isn't the loadest of things since it is in the living room it is noticable. I disconnected the fan on the case and the noise didn't really change much (possibly that case fan dB < CPU fan dB ??)
I would really like to get the noise down, I plan to test with just the case fan (it blows through the fins of the CPU heatsink anyway) but I was wandering if anyone has used this board fanless or anyone would recomend to or not to do that
I have set the CPU govener to ondemand at the moment (ie it spends 99% of its time at ~500MHz and ONLY sometimes goes to full-speed). I would concider setting the CPU govenor to powersave to hold the freq at ~550MHz if it ment I could go fanless
any recomendations?
