POPCORN HOUR A-200/A-210 -Tests -Astuces -Moding

[toki]

aucun problème à ce niveau la... bcp d'autres lecteurs ont un ventilo pour refroidir uniquement leur HDD interne. Et clairement, le A-200 est trop bruyant, comparé au C-200 c'est vraiment flagrant !

Je ne comprends pas tout... le C-200 est un fanless, donc c'est normal qu'il fait moins de bruit
J'hésité, j'hésite... j'ai peur de devenir four avec le ventiolo du A-200.

Quelqu'un a déjà comparé le bruit du ventilo avec le PlayonHD ou le MED500X ?

Un utilisateur du forum officiel a découvert un moyen de rendre le lecteur silencieux.Il suffit de changer le câble du ventilo qui est du 12 volts par un câble 5 volts.

http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showt ... #pid342698

La référence du cable est ZALMAN ZM-RC100.En plus il ne coûte que 2,90 €.

Attention, sans percer le dessus du A-200 pour évacuer la chaleur il est possible que la puce ne sois plus assez bien refroidie avec ça!

Vu que (a priori) la ventilation n'évacue rien et se contente de brasser l'air dans le boitier, ca ne doit pas changer grand chose

Du coup je viens de commander le mien avec un fan mate, on verra bien (ne sachant pas s'il me reste des câbles ULNA de mes différentes Noctua quelque part... )

[nonodup]

Je ne comprends pas, j'ai le mien depuis quelques jours et je n'ai pas entendu de bruit au dela du normal.
Il est vrai que j'ai deux PC et le filtre de l'aquarium dans la pièce, mais bon, meme en me collant contre la machine, le bruit est raisonnable.

Dans le doute (et pour 2,50 € de plus) j'ai pris le fan mate, mais si ce n'est pas nécessaire tant mieux (un peu de graisse au silicone sur l'axe du ventilo peut aussi être la solution). On verra dans 2 jours

A mon avis, la plupart des utilisateurs veulent un bruit en dessous de la normale... on pourrait même sans bruit.
Pour ma part, je ne dois plus l'entendre à 2m.
Et le filtre de l'aquarium, outch! Pas possible de voir un film avec ce genre de chose pour moi. Je tolère a peine que ma copine bouffe du popcorn

[nonodup]

LOL
mais je suis d'accord avec toi, à partir de 2m on entend plus rien.

Le problème c'est que quand tu lis tous ces messages, ca te fait hésiter à acheter le popcorn alors que franchement c'est un super produit !

C'est le même phénomène lorsque tu te ballades sur les forums TV... Si j'avais raisonné en fonction de ce que je lisais je n'aurais jamais acheté ma B6000 Samsung

[nonodup]

Ouaip, le problème c'est qu'il n'y a que les personnes qui ont des problèmes qui s'expriment.
Ceux qui sont contents ne disent rien.
C'est aussi pour ca que j'ai laissé un message, car franchement je suis ravi de mon popcorn A200.
Alors peut etre aussi que je ne le pousse pas dans ses retranchements. Je n'ai pas d'ampli home cinéma audio HD, donc je ne fais pas attention à la piste sonore utilisée.

Mais pour tout ce que j'utilise dans les films c'est nickel.
C'est vrai que pour la musique c'est pauvre, je pense que ce n'est vraiment pas fait pour. Pour ma part j'utilise le système squeezebox de logitech. Chacun son truc.

Ouais enfin on est quand même sur un forum de "puristes", normal qu'on rale vu le boucan que fait la bête!
