The controller should be able to function while the motherboard is shutdown but powered without the need for active cooling. It could be time to go shopping for a...

Hi cliffr. Are you saying that in your experience ex-server motherboards will overheat with power applied to them but not started, unless they are constantly fan cooled? I see quite a few whitebox builds on the internet that use ex-server motherboards such as the S7012. I have not seen mention...

The board is mounted in a NZXT s340 case with twin 140mm Noctua nf-a14-pwm chassis fans at the front. The CPUs are cooled by Noctua nh-u9dx-i4. To keep the AST2050 area cool I have a Noctua nf-b9 mounted directly over the AST2050 chip. I would say there is pretty good airflow through the case...
