Poweredge r520 fancontrol9/21/2023 ![]() ![]() The Arctic fans only spin to a max of 2000RPM, which should mean they're nice and silent, but the server expects them to ramp up to 6500-7000RPM. One potential problem is the difference in RPM between the DELL OG fans and the Arctics. I have 5 80MM Arctic F8 PWM fans and 2 Noctua NF-A4X20 FLX fans on order for this project, and we'll see if cooling is still adequate when i swap them in. They have a couple of adapter cables included with them which should fit in this no poblemo. Noctua actually makes some fans specifically for this. They kinda look like the connector you would find on some GPU's. The PSU's also use little 4-pin connectors. This means i should be able to just cut the connectors and solder them to normal 80MM PWM fans. Under a heavy load the 80MM's also get to screaming tough.ĭELL uses proprietary connectors for all of them, but luckily the pinout is still just PWM. They're definitely audible at idle, but it's the PSU fans that really make the noise. the 80MM fans arn't actually all that bad. Inside this thing has a total of 5 80MM fans for primary cooling, along with redundant PSU's which both have a 40mm fan. Nothing made for the enterprise ever really is. One problem tough: my rack lives right next to my desk. I got it on the cheap from someone who in turn got it from a datacenter where it got decommissioned. This means my power bill is high enough as is. ![]() the Xeons in there are the 'L' variant, for low power! This is relevant because i have a 4U server running in the same rack 24/7 with dual 8-core Xeons 128GB RAM and a 2080Ti running on pretty much full load. It's rocking dual 6-core Xeons and a total of 32GB's of ECC RAM.īy today's standards, this really isn't anything impressive, but that's exactly why i got it. ![]() That right there is a DELL PowerEdge R510 server. So i recently became the proud owner of this thing: ![]()
