Can you post the parts / components (heatpipe and secondary heatsinks) and the adhesive you used for that? That's actually a brilliant solution.

I've got two 7250-24P switches but even with fan mods they're still noisier than I like, and it's hard to find good fans for them that don't cause temperatures to increase by 15 to 20 degrees. Felt like this would be a good place to ask: any 7250 vets who have sense moved on to other 10 gig...

Benefit of a 710 vs a 500?

It looks to be the same as an r630.

dang, wish these had LP brackets.

I need some CPUs for Dell M630 blades, they can be configured with either 68mm or 86mm heatsinks, the former is pretty standard and the latter has what is probably a vapor chamber /w heatpipes (or just a heat pipe sans vapor chamber). They're both described as "for 120W or less CPU" and "120W...

Everything I've read suggests these are not suitable noise wise for home use at all. 4 r730s or a vrtx would be more practical if that's a concern. I would exercise caution ordering one of these. I believe they only run on 200-240 volt input also. You may be able to run one node on 110 120 but...

Did anyone get a few of these and don't need the mobo anymore?

both UPS units sold, 4 R730xd still available, price drop on the r730xd barebone

No, not when they're on utility. If power knocks out the fans will turn on. Kind of nice, actually.

timestamps: Selling The Dells are identically configured as follows: x4 Dell R730xd x2 E5-2630 v3 CPU x8 16GB Micron DDR4 2133 ECC Memory (128GB total per, except one has x4 16GB = 64GB) x8 400GB HGST HUSMM8040ASS200 SAS3 SSD (3.2 TB raw) x1 dual 2x1Gbe / 2x10GbE NDC (4 ports total, i350...

fantastic fkin find, OP

How warm do these get while idle? You pretty much need an HBA/NIC heatsink for most modern adapters if you run them in consumer cases or SuperMicro cases where you're controlling fan speeds so I am wondering if they can be comfortably ran in a low-ish airflow config.

I purchased 3 of these off fleabay a while back and didn't get to test them til a bit later, turns out one was bad. I got a pretty good deal on them so I wasn't too upset that it was out of the return window. I ended up fudging an attempt at self repairing it myself (it looked like maybe one of...
