    Extra cooling targeting RAM DIMMs

    In a workstation case: Silverstone Alta D1 Whether the MB is Supermicro H13SSL-N or Asrock. So far the first tests are promising, but before HPC gets wild I need to take care of the DIMM cooling. I already have case fans, two large ones at the front, mostly aimed at nothing, the MB and therefore...

    Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX1320 M3 PSU planning Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM fan swap. Anyone done this before?

    I’m running a Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX1320 M3 with the 450 W Platinum Hot-Swap PSU (Fujitsu A3C40172099 / S26113-E575-V70 / S13-450P1A). It works perfectly except the PSU fan is insanely loud (ofc cuz its a server psu fan). What i know so far: PWM-controlled fan, tach required for PSU to start...

    Cooling U.2/U.3 in workstation cases

    Taking into account that these things get very hot and demand enterprise class air cooling and since some have already used U.2 in workstation cases / non-rack set ups: @Ezy you are using it with a SAGE, how do you cool the U.2s? @Venturi you have this interesting set up, I see a fan behind...

    Daisy chain 6x industrial fans → 1x fan connector. & 2x pump control cables → 1x fan connector

    Since I have only 6 fan connectors in the Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T, if I give every CPU it's own AIO Iwill end up with 4 fan connecrors occupied just by the CPU, and only 2 left for the rest of the fans. How many fans (3 pin) can I daisy chain into one fan connector? I already have 3 fans in...

    For Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T, the only fans on the motherboard are six gathered in one place called system fans. Two CPUs -> 2 fans cables and 2 radiator/pump control cables. Should I use 4 of these system fans just for the CPU cooling and the only two left are supposed to take care of the...

    HP ProLiant ML350p Gen8: added PCIe to NVMe card, fans run at 27% on that CPU side now constantly

    I have an old HP ProLiant ML350p Gen 8; looks like this eBay listing. It's a beast, but been pretty good besides power efficiency. I just added a Sabrent PCIe to NVMe adapter card into a PCIe x16 slot. Everything is working great except now the fans on that CPU side run at a minimum of 27%...

    MS-01 Fancontrol settings

    I'm new to fancontrol settings and haven't found any suggestions for the MS-01 (13900h, nothing in the PCIE slot). I've dabbled with settings a bit and would like some feedback if these are OK or if I completely screwed something up. The background is that I have one game server running that...

    Anyone have experience with this 40x28mm fan?

    https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805382718811.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt I'm not able to find clear information on its RPM rating but based on the stated power consumption, it may be at a suitable 9k or 10k RPM range. This is as part of looking for fan improvements to my SX6036...

    IPMI fan speed control on HP DL 360 Ger 7

    Good morning guys, I own an HP DL360 G7 server and realized that the fans are running in high rotation, even without any intensive processing in progress. I tried to control the speed by ILO 3 in version 1.9.4, but was not successful. Recently, I saw some people managing to control this issue...

    Supermicro H13SSL-N and fans oscillating between low and high speed

    Hi everyone, I've just build a hell of a monster with an Epyc 9334 QS in a Supermicro H13SSL-N. Not really knowing how all this worked yet, I grabbed some Noctua fans, as I had on my last build, but it seems even adjusting the thresholds either does nothing, so they keep oscillating, or has the...

    Hi everyone, I got a 5017GR-TF 1U server. I find that the PSU fan is noisy. I would like to know if it is possible to replace the PSU and the power distribution board to a standard 1U PSU. I see there are Post about replacing redundant PSU but I cannot find information related to the SC818...

    My DIY pcie fan for pcie ssds

    So I recently got a 1.65 TB fusion io ssd which was fantastic except for the fact it runs hotter than my cpu at 63C. After a day of looking for usb and pcie fan I thought about mounting a fan directly onto my ssd which was near impossible. Then I realized I can glue a sff pc fan to a mounting...

    Can only PWM 2 Noctua fans at a time on a SM X9DRi-LN4F+ (but they run fine at full speed)

    TLDR: If I plug in 3 Noctua industrial fans for PWM, none will spin up. If I plug in any two of them (or 2 + a rando fan), all will will work fine. I recently got a (new to me) X9DRi-LN4F+ SuperMicro motherboard inside SC846E16 4U chassis. After researching the best way to quiet it, I...

    Dell C6100 - Fans start out quiet, but over time grow louder

    Hey everyone, This isn't your usual "holy cow the C6100 is noisy!" question. My Intel (Tyan XS23-TY3) C6100 (after its initial jet engine startup) is actually rather quiet, likely because I am not pushing it too hard very often. I'm only running 2/4 blades as well, and they're located in the...
