Not sure about in windows for checking temps other than with command line from lsiutil....

The "stand-offs" posted above were talking about features certain SuperMicro motherboards used for heatsinks. These would not be used by a standard ATX board. All you should need are either the standoffs that are already in the chassis, or possibly need to pickup Supermicro part#...

I had to point a fan towards my 9XXX series controller. I just used a spare 120mm nocuta case fan I had and zip tied it to the case back through one of the pass-through holes for cable management and had it pointed/aimed towards the heatsink side of the controller. It really didn't take much, it...

Very nice find and snag for those ICX7250 at $25... That really is a steal. Easily worth 4x that amount.

Didn't receive it yet, still in shipping. From everything I understand, you just unscrew the existing PDB from its metal tray and screw this on in its place as the mounting holes are in the exact same place, just that the trays are slightly different between the 846 and 747.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered a PDB-PT747-4648 while they are still out there. Yes, I had to pay a decent chunk of change, but given it has all the modern connections needed for the latest motherboards and support for many GPUs (that don't use Nvidia's crappy new connector that tends to...

Yes, this version was originally designed for the rear optical drive. You however might be able to get a 2 drive internal carrier with it, you just might not have cabling from your power supply/distribution designed to reach it (I have mine with the optical drive). There is also the internal...

That is a standard 4 pin MOLEX connector. You can easily get a new connector and just re-wire it (cut 4 wires off the existing/broken connector, strip about 5-8mm off the end of the wires, break off the pins from the stubout/tab, tin the replacement pin and the end of the wire with solder, crimp...

Also in terms of "basic advice" for fiber in the home, run conduit. If you don't have the tools and experience to splice fiber or install terminations, you will probably be running pre-terminated fiber, and as a result the width of the conduit will need to be larger. You also need to pay...

The IPMI would probably work, but without CPU/RAM the fans will not run as the BIOS will effectively shut the system down when it hits the checks for CPU/RAM, finds none and powers things down. Don't you have an existing board with the 2x Xeon L5630 and LSI controller? Those CPUs are...

The 140mm's would only fit if you remove the power distribution board and the hot swap power supply cage (or remove the hard drive backplane and supports, but that kind of defeats the usually purpose of this chassis). The 3x120mm fans will fit in the same spot as the fanwall divider where the...

Just wondering why you have ruled out just using the 846 chassis for the server? You can swap out the motherboard easily with any ATX or E-ATX (up to a certain length) board. The only issue you can run into is the power distribution board not having enough EPS cables to support some of the...

I use a bunch of Dell R6525 servers at work that have dual AMD EPYC 75F3 (which are the next generation, and are 280W TDP vs the 225W TDP of the 7742). These run loud and hot when in use. Even at idle they are still pretty loud.

You can always pull out an engineering or framing square to see if all the corners are square. You will then be able to see which sides have gone out of square and can attempt to shift them back into square with some wood blocking/framing and leverage.

You might be experiencing a few different issues at the same time and not just a single one. I have seen strange problems with SATA DOMs that resulted in similar issues as some of the pauses and failures you have seen for booting. If you can, I suggest booting from USB/DVD and see if you can...

I had not thought of using 3M dual lock for this, but once you said it, it makes sense. I use it on my guitar and bass pedal boards to anchor the various effects/pedals and the stuff works great in that application. You really don't need much as it locks together much stronger than velcro and...

You don't even really need to 3D print the internal bracket for replacement fans. You can simply remove the fan wall bracket that is in there and use double-sided tape and/or zip/twist ties to connect 3x 120mm together directly and just slot it into the same spot in the chassis, holding it in...

Since no one has answered this, I would say that is something of a mistake replacing the BPN-SAS-846TQ with a BPN-SAS2-846EL1. Yes in theory you would think the SAS2 was better, but the BPN-SAS-846TQ is actually direct passthrough, meaning it is capable of SAS, SAS2, and even SAS3 speeds, you...

Do you really need 2x MCP-220-84603-0N? I didn't think that would fit even without the rear CDROM bracket. In mine, I am running the slimline DVD and I have the MCP-220-84603-0N bracket which let me install 2x 2.5" internal drives. I am doing something very similar to you, except what I did is...

You would be surprised how many places are doing this now for security reasons. Its a lot harder to tap into without detection.
