So I got this board via a bailiff auction and want to use it for a combined homelab/NAS application.
I have a 2U case and I am having huge challenges keeping the CPU cool (still working on building a new duct and improving case fans for more static pressure) but I would also like to pursue a more direct active cooling option for the CPU.
I have a mount/shroud I've managed to model up that fits well and gives me an 80mm hole but now I have only 37 to 42mm of space above this adapter. This I feel eliminates many of my high static pressure fan options (but maybe not) and leaves me with centrifugal blowers. But I'm having a challenge finding something that I can feel comfortable selecting.
I cam handle building a support platform up to a 120mm footprint with an ~80mm through hole and hoping folks here have some suggestions for good options.
