First bought fanless NUC and use it for movies and music. Later I got i7 NUC for movies, but it works only when Im watching movies, it is not working 24h/day. Wanted to get fanless case for that nuc too, but can not find it, because of processor.
As my NUC is in a different room that my Devialet, I never hear it, plus truth be told, mine doesn't seem to make a lot of fan noise anyway. Which would lead one to ask, "how would I know"....
Are you using AIR or USB with your NUC?
