Wow, that's awesome! GLWS

These servers were designed to have the air pulled in and directed to the areas that need it via shroud. If you had the server in a 2u sure that would work better.

I would recommend putting some standard 40mm fans blowing toward the IO shield (from the opposite side). A plastic shroud can direct the air from these fans to the passive heatsink. If you have no air moving over the heatsink I am not surprised the temps are alarming.

STH actually did a review on this platform where they mention an active cooler. I don't think the fan would work since you are using a 1u chassis. Put one opposite of the IO? Would be close to the heatsink...

That is an embedded system, you can't upgrade the processor. If you have high temps make sure you are using the shroud/duct.

Which slots on the motherboard did you try? How did you configure the bifurcation for those slots? Has the adapter been used successfully elsewhere?

Which motherboard specifically? Which adapter, specifically? Have you tried just a single drive in the adapter?

Oh yeah, that will do it. Awesome.

When my setup didn't recognize a dimm slot it was because of bent pins. Have you ruled that out?

I am using four sticks of SK Hynix HMAA4GU7AJR8N-XN

I would strongly recommend checking out the superquiet/SQ power supplies. Surprisingly quiet operation without having to damage the chassis with questionable modifications. Add lower speed SM fans (the green ones IIRC) in chassis and you should be golden.

@ploxxer is legit. Good luck with the sale!

Looks like Newegg put the wrong stock image in that listing, here is a picture+info of the actual board: ASRock Rack > B550D4-4L

Should work fine, perhaps swap out the fans with these: Supermicro 80mm Axial Fan (FAN-0136L4)

Based on this thread it looks like this would work fine - just needs to be enabled in bios. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/asrock-rack-e3c246d2i.24231/
