    Graphics card for HP 800 G4 SFF?

    What is the max length of a gpu that can fit in this case? I want to add a Tesla P4, they are cheap on ebay and come with a fan attached, but would like to know if it will fit. Here is what the seller image shows - also can it be installed in either of the PCI slots? I know one is only x4.

    Replacing SuperMicro mid-chassis fans

    No fan detected in SuperMicro SC846

    Chassis is SC846-R1200B. I replaced all 5 fans with Arctic F8 PWM (AFACO-080P0-GBA01). The Arctic fans have a 4pin PWM plug and the fans end up looking like shown in this post - My (near) silent SC847 The fans are all plugged into the MB header and not into the backplane. This is what I...

    Help with SuperMicro fans - solved

    Trying to replace the stock fans in a SC846 chassis. I got the fans out of the housing but can't release the 4 pin connectors. Is the latch supposed to release and how do I do so? I've tried pressing on it from different angles and don't want to break it. What's the way to do this?

    Question about Hyper-V role in Server 2012

    As I understand it, if you enable the Hyper-V role, in effect it virtualizes Server 2012 itself to run on top of Hyper-V. After this, do you still get access to the raw hardware (video, disk APM, SMART etc) or not? Because when using Hyper-V server, things like SMART aren't passed thru by the...

    Will this controller and backplane work?

    Sorry for asking this, I read the sticky but I'm new to this, just want to confirm. Backplane is BPN-SAS2-846EL. As I understand it has a SAS expander built in so it only needs a single 8087 cable from the HBA card, right? Will either of these HBA's flashed to IT mode work? LSI 9212-4i LSI...
