    My HDDs get too hot. What type of fans do I need?

    Hi everyone, I have 2 unraid servers that get too hot when parity syncing, especially in the summer, so it is time to change the fans (original fans that came with the case).

    Mod of Supermicro SuperChassis 933T

    Does somebody know if I can mod a Supermicro 933T and exchange the triple-redundant (Sp382-ts 380W) for a p920-SQ and exchanging the powerboard. Is there a lot of modification needed? If not, somebody knows if the fans of Sp382-ts 380W are very noisy?

    Hi, I have a supermicro 2U case which I love, but it's in my office and it's a little loud for office work (can even be heard over my switch, which is also loud). My girlfriend has also been complaining about it recently. I replaced (most) the fans in the switch with noctunas, which I had to...

    Supermicro A1SRi-2758F PS / fan / case recommendation

    Hello, I recently purchased this board, installed 8gb memory (the board has AVG54 the 'fix' applied by Supermicro). Currently it is running PFSense in a (large) 4u rack case, and powered by an ATX 430 PS. I'm interested in downsizing to a 1u case. Lower power consumption is a concern...

    Cutting apart a Supermicro case ... experiences?

    Hi, so I have this strange layout Supermicro motherboard that I got cheap on eBay. Thought it was worth it at $35 for an E3 board, but it's turning out to be more work than it's worth. I have it in a standard ATX case but I can't use any of the expansion slots because it requires a riser...
