Just installed my MCP-310-49002-0N and ran through a very, very (non-scientific) test. Doing a Handbrake encode of The Waterboy (see, non-scientific, maybe something's wrong with my medulla oblongata :) ) prior to having the shroud installed, at the halfway point (about 15 minutes) the CPU temp (according to IPMI) was 93 C, and the fans were blowing at 2500 RPM. Idle temp prior to the shroud was about 72 - 74 C.

So, shroud installed - same test - at the halfway point, CPU temperature was 73 C and fans running at 2200 RPM. Shut down the test, wait five minutes, CPU temp had dropped to 59 C and fans were running at 1600 RPM, which seems to be my new idle temperature. Of course, this is far from time tested - I just wanted to report in on early results. So far, I'm a happy camper. :)

Any pics?!

Ok, here's a shot showing the shroud in place --- it is clear plastic, so hopefully this lets you see how it fits and ducts the air - the front of the chassis is forcing air into the shroud and the rear fans are pulling it out.

As you can tell, the whole motherboard isn't covered --- the LSI 2116 isn't covered completely, but thus far I've not seen anything to tell me that part is getting too hot.

Check that. Rechecked this evening. Its not "peripheral temp". The sensor is "SAS2 Temp".
Just noticed that I do have a SAS2 temp sensor on my new D-1508 board which is running IPMI 3.31. The other 3 I have (D1537(x2) and D1518) are running 3.30 and don't have it. I can't upgrade to 3.31 on those because doing so causes ESXi to hang on bootup. I submitted the bug to SuperMicro and also reminded them of the java bug as well. Hopefully they put out an updated version soon.

So what temp did you see on the new D-1508?

My SAS2 temp is idle at 90C. I have nothing connected to onboard SATA/SAS ports. (X10SDV-4C-7TP4F running firmware 3.31)

I'm on a plane about to take off right now but this is what IPMI is showing for my X10SDV-2C-7TP4F board in my iStarUSA M-3120-ATX chassis. Have 10 SATA drives hooked up to the SAS controller.
