I used PCI-E to U2 adapter and install a few U2 NVME and they are running really hot (45-60c), even with the fan wall set at full throttle.

Per supermicro manual these fan kits are meant for 747BTQ model only, however I am curious if it is possible to retrofit them to fit a standard 743 or 846 chassis.

Just slap some 40mm noctua fans in front of the U.2s.

hehehe, If the rear fan thing does not work, I am planning to use 80mm fan and 3M double taped to the server lid placed close to the PCI slots. I've checked clearance and I think it would work although not an elegant solutions
