    Help Quieting My Supermicro Servers

    So I have two Supermicro servers, a 1U and a 4U. I just want to reduce the noise a bit. It's mostly the fan wall that is in them. Ideally I'd like to replace them with a quiet fan like Noctuas. I'm not worried about the power supplies at the moment, it's mainly the fan walls I want to get...

    Supermicro M12SWA-TF PCH fan noise

    Rumor has it the Supermicro M12SWA-TF PCH fan is really noisy. Has anyone found any good solutions for this? Can the fan be swapped with a Noctua? Or maybe use the existing fan with an LNA resistor to slow it down a bit and rely on good case cooling? Thanks!

    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?

    CSE-847 Fan Noise Woes.

    Finished my upgrade to a CSE-847 thinking I could throw all my disks into one unit, use one MB, and max the ram and be in media storage heaven. Well, I didn't think things though, filled the unit up, turned it on and found the fans screaming their way into my ears. I've tried various...

    New Supermicro chassi SC847 (super quiet)

    Hi my internet friends, I am considering investing in a new SC847 chassis. It sounds pretty much. If I buy new fans Noctua NF-A6x25 PWM or FAN-0104L4 and replace them, I can minimize noise level. Chassi has two PWS-1K28P-SQ 1280W. 20-10-02 13-30-40 0205.mov Njanja

Therefore I was looking for a 2U unit only, fully aware of the problems coming with it in a home office environment...

    Hey, so I have purchased a few old enterprise switches, they have a great feature to price ratio and can be had for next to nothing.

    Create Custom Fan Speed Maps for SuperMicro X10 Servers via IPMI

    I got tired of the noise with my SuperMicro X10 Server (4027GR-TRT), but didn't want to get into involved hardware fan swaps which still may produce unsatisfactory results. For reference, the "Optimal" fan setting decided to run half of the fans at 8000RPM at idle, and the other half at 5000RPM...
