Been quite a while since you posted this, but, could you add these commands to your beautiful docs ?going through some hidden commands, after 30 seconds of testing these seem to set the case fan speed on the 6450, but don't do anything on the 6610. haven't tested on the icx7xxx but I have a feeling they'll behave like the 6450
dd set_pwrfan_high
dd set_pwrfan_low
What are the temps though?Noise, ICX 6610 and what an ENORMOUS difference two rev b PSU's make compared to 1 rev b and 1 rev a...
I was able to pick up 2 Rev B POE PSU's < 50 each off the bay (seller had 2 total). I installed them last night and I cannot believe how much of a difference it makes!
I need to find one more reasonably priced rev b for my other 6610.
My original switch purchase had 2 PSU and 2 FANS in each unit. I've only been running 1 switch due to noise and playing with the 40Gbe. If I can source 1 more rev B I will try and figure out if it is really possible to stack with a single 40Gbe and use the remaining 2 for a LAG.What are the temps though?
I had heat issues and went to 2 fans, 2 psu, and heat issues went away. They're REv A.
In one I have a REv B but can't tell the difference... debating if I should swap that B to A for more air flow.
I have a 8-11*C difference between the 6610 on top vs on bottom too, unsure if it's location, A vs B, or due to the rack-ear not having the middle\vent hole.

While that switch above is not exactly cooking...it is certainly very very warm. I'm surprised the fans haven't ramped up.
Bought a 6450-24p poe .
Get these poe syslog messages.

I also got a Sunon MagLev KDE1204PKV3-MS.AF.GN 3pin 18dB-A Super Silence from ebay, gotta remove that high pitch noise of the current fan.
it doesn't even bother to ramp up fans until 76c, 65 is more than fine. these things run hot (which is why I keep yelling at people to stop wasting their time trying to stick even slower fans in the 6610)My original switch purchase had 2 PSU and 2 FANS in each unit. I've only been running 1 switch due to noise and playing with the 40Gbe. If I can source 1 more rev B I will try and figure out if it is really possible to stack with a single 40Gbe and use the remaining 2 for a LAG.
I've marked a seller on the bay that has qty 4 rev B power supplies (confirmed via message), asking a lot for 'em but none of have moved since it was posted. May take a lower number though it will likely be about what I paid for these 2 combined. But my ears, oh my. huge huge difference. my CSE-417 is now the loudest thing in the rack and I removed some fans from it to quiet it down a bit (all flash, 2/3 full, temps are fine there).
I figured since I did not hear the fans ramp up (except at power on) that all must be okay and I was really just floored by the sound difference so I didn’t even check temps.

yes, folks please listen to Uncle Fohdeesha. Just find some deals and invest in rev B psu's . I am still non-sonically stunned by how quiet two 6610 POE rev B's are. Fohdeesha, you posted about the acoustics early on in the thread - just hadn't found a deal until last week and it was SO worth it!it doesn't even bother to ramp up fans until 76c, 65 is more than fine. these things run hot (which is why I keep yelling at people to stop wasting their time trying to stick even slower fans in the 6610)
Hi , great guide btw ( FCX / ICX6610 - Fohdeesha Docs ) I couldn't find any info on how to abtain or active licence for 6450 24p for the 10GB ports.forgot to mention: licenses for these models are free for existing STH members - now that they are EOL & discontinued I don't really have an alternative to giving them away![]()
You could create a mixed stack with the 6610 and the 6450, that further enables more features on the 6450 like openflow and possibly BGP ?Ok. Now have 6610-24 (2x RevA PSUs), 6450-24, and 7250-24P that were purchased in that order.
Since there is a lot of discussion on noise:
- The 6450-24 with stock fans was so quiet (38-42db) that I was able to move it to a bedroom closet and nobody knows it is there w/ 2 10gb and a dozen 1gb connections. Everyone has different sound tolerance, but I had multiple people help listen for it and we literally could not hear it -- I suspect that people with louder fans may have bad fans. It nicely replaced both a Mikrotik CRS305 and an older Unifi switch and barely consumes any power. It's incredible for the price and I would highly recommend it for most people that only need a few 10gig ports for a NAS or such.
- The 7250-24P is louder than the 6450 (45-48db). I would say mid-way between my 6450 and 6610. Definitely louder than the 6450, but is at a wife-acceptable volume level with no modifications (stock fans/etc...) from the next room with the door open with 6 10gb and a dozen 1gb connections. Wouldn't put in the bedroom closet or want to sit next to it for extended periods, but would not classify it as loud. Love that the latest OS has more straight-forward handling of ports with both tagged/untagged VLANs, etc... but wouldn't base a buying decision based on that. This replaced a Mikrotik CRS309 and two Unifi switches.
- The 6610-24 with 2xRevA's was obviously louder (~53-58db depending on PSU fan speed) than both of the above with the same load as the 7250. Having just seen more of the RevB stories, I'm watching any keyword related to RPS-15-E/RSP-16-E PSUs on eBay. If the 7250 had BGP, I probably don't really need the QSFP ports and would just stick with the 7250. Would be curious if anyone has done any sound measurements of the actual drop from RevA to RevB's...also it seems that the drop comes with dual B's...would running the 24 with a single B PSU be materially quieter than one or two RevA's? I don't feel like I'm too far from acceptable sound levels and my other option is to start running fiber to the garage/attic or just give up.![]()
The 6450-24p is not "NOT" quiet ! Maybe the non poe version. but the "P" version isn't. That's why i just changed my switch fansOk. Now have 6610-24 (2x RevA PSUs), 6450-24, and 7250-24P that were purchased in that order.
