NUC's fan noise is disturbing

[dabassgoesboomboom]

I will try to change something from the bios.

I definitely wouldn’t turn the fan off in BIOS while using it in the original NUC case (housing).

If it continues to bother you and you can’t move the NUC to a different room (and use a low powered networked fanless ‘endpoint’ inside your listening room, like Sonore microRendu for example) you could maybe consider a fanless case for the NUC itself?

I managed to build one and I’m a pretty slow guy

The Best NUC for ROCK?

While I prefer to have my Roon Server outside of the listening room (like I had in my previous house), my current setup in my apartment needs to have my Roon Core inside my listening room unfortunately. So I’ve picked up the NUC7i7DNHE with an Akasa Plato X7D fanless case. It took a few hours to put together because I’m extremely slow but also because I triple checked all connections because I never want to open it again. The beauty with this is not just the fanless case with no moving parts …
