thanks raileon and dasaint. probably i will pass this deal.

are these 40 mm fans? is it practical to change all of the fans to low the operating noise?

Thanks, Justin. That is a good article.

1. nobody posted results here with 980. if you experiment, you need an extra power for the card. 2. i think so. but others please confirm. 3. not sure. i don't see it in the bme. but maybe hidden somewhere else.

just did a quick installation of centos 6.8 and lm_sensors, cpu 60-65 celcius degrees idling, high 80, critical 90.

these pwm 4 pin connectors can directly plug into the backplane.

Update: I installed these fans. Now it is extremely quiet. I almost can not determine if it is on. However, I don't know if cpu temp is cold enough. Is there anywhere to see cpu temp in bios or bmc? Thanks.

the effect of the air shroud is amazing. my good node runs overnight without an issue. still quiet with centos 6.8 just installed. centos 7.2 had issue with video driver and cannot be installed.

In my case, I tried non-ecc ram, full fan speed. Later I found out that airshroud, as previous pages mentioned, is the cause. When I swapped the ram sticks and bios batteries, I did not put on airshroud for convenience, thus the full speed fan noise. I think motherboard has some sensors for...

My unit BIOS Version: Core Version: 4.6.4.1 Project Version: S2RQ3A21 Build Date: 3/13/2013 But mine always has jet noise after boot. Will install CentOS 7.3 to see.

crazy goat and stam: could you please post screens on bios versions? i seriously suspect your machines' bios has been updated in some ways by previous users.

thanks a lot for your help with detailed description, grfxlab. I will try your suggestions.

thanks, tbkdan. i actually have claimed samsung for both of my nodes each for 128gb. i will try to disable ME in bios first, then try some non ecc desktop ram later. donjon: i did press the red button on the node and both nodes powered on.
