HD Spindown Time Allows you to set the amount of idletime in minutes XBMC will wait before it spins down the harddisk. This will reduce the noise of your XBOX a bit and decreases heat buildup. Please note that it takes 5 to 10 seconds before the harddisk is fully operational after a spindown. This causes XBMC to halt and wait for the harddisk to pick up. It is not advisable to have a short spindown if you play a lot of music files as your harddisk can't be in sleepmode (spindown) when it reads an ID3tag, therefor, the it will have to restart with every new song. You can set this option in one minute intervals from diabled to one hour. Immediate HD Spindown Will enable the harddisk to spindown (almost) immediately when playing files from a network. Set it to Off to disable this feature. Set it to Music Only to enable this feature when playing audio files. ( NOT RECOMMENDED ) Set it to Video Only to enable this feature when playing video files. Set it to Music & Video to enable this feature for both audio and video files ( NOT RECOMMENDED ) Miniumum File Duration Set the minimal duation of the file in minutes before allowing HD spindown Delay Set the amount of time in seconds to wait before spinning down the harddisk NOTE: Immediate HD Spindown will not work when playing files from the harddisk or remote video's with vobsub subtitles.

( NOT RECOMMENDED ) Fan Speed Override Allows you to manually set the Xbox fan speed from 10% to 100%, allowing your system to run more quietly. Be carefull not to set it too low or it could cause overheating of the xbox. The fan will restore to the default speed (set in your bios) when starting another application or games. Auto Temperature Control When enabled XBMC will try to keep the temperature of the xbox around the target temperature you set. If your xbox is cooler than the set temperature the fan will gradually slow down until that temperature is reached. If the temperature gets higher then the fan speed will increase trying to keep it around the set temperature. The fan will restore to the default speed (set in your bios) when starting another application or games.
