Interesting. I have mine running at 80+w - fluctuates between 80 and 85 at idle with similar stats. I do have 4x2TB 7.2k drives, but that should be less than 20w at idle. Do you have any of the ethernet ports connected at that power draw? I do, but I'm only running one.The system running Ubuntu 18.0.4 idle at 48w.
Config
E3-1240 v3
4 x 4 gb udimm
1 Intel SSD
2 Front 80mm fan, 1 x 80mm CPU heatsink fan.
I managed to do this on another Supermicro X10 but not this one - the BIOS modding tool didn't seem to like the v3.2 BIOS for me (not sure what I did wrong).Have included the modded 3.2 Bios from Bluefox. You will need to reset CMOS after install - did mine from a Rufus FreeDos USB.

What kind of glue did you use?Ubuntu using 1 gb network port , and 1 ipmi network port.
I still have a system in the 1u chassis, will test it out later and report back.
I am in process of moving the system board to istar 2u case, waiting on fans from Ebay.
Once I have build a proxmox cluster working, I'll have more concrete power number.
I glued a 80mm Artic fan on top of the 3 x 10gbe Ethernet chips, it added about 1-2w to the system.
Hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a try before resorting to glue.Cable Zip Ties to attach 40mm on top of the SAS heatsink
Using small zip ties, you can usually make a small loop around the arm that connects the heatsink to the spring loaded plastic pin that goes through the motherboard. Then, you can use that loop to connect to the fan with another zip tie that goes through the fan's screw holes and the loop. Takes a little fiddling on the smaller heatsinks and much more secure than glue IMHO. Just don't tighten the zip ties too much or you can damage the heatsink bond or motherboard.Cable Zip Ties to attach 40mm on top of the SAS heatsink

I just use a big paper clip that I unfold, then I push it inside the heatsink, like this: https://cdn.instructables.com/FQU/J...RGE.jpg?auto=webp&frame=1&crop=3:2&fit=boundsThanks. I want attach a 40mm fan to the SAS controller on a Supermicro X10SRH-CF. Can't see any way to do it other than glue.
Wonder if hot glue would work?
Wouldn't a push set-up work better for the heatsinks?
Done deal. Just hope the zip ties can handle the heat.
They were running 80c in my other system without a fan. This system will be fired up when the CPU cooler arrives later today.I'd be interested to know how your temps are in use. You've got your fan set to pull air through the heatsink. The times I've put a fan on an HBA/RAID heatsink, I've had the fans push instead. Maybe I've been going about it the wrong way.![]()
