Hi Guys,
Work was throwing away a fairly capable server, Intel S5000VSA mobo, Dual CPU, 3GB RAM which i'm going to upgrade to 16GB, so i asked if i could have it for testing which they said yes.
The only problem is, it is pretty loud and i want it on all the time and its in my bedroom! I was going to build myself a home NAS but now I have no need to with this so if i can get it quiet it will save me a fair bit of money, it will also be used for messing about with Linux and other things using VM's.
I have upgraded the BIOS on it and the thermal settings which has quietened it down a bit but it is still to loud to have in there all the time.
I have ordered 3, 80mm Noiseblocker X2 fans for it to replace the case fans which are pretty loud, now i just need to find two CPU coolers that will fit in the case which is 2U high (around 130mm)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
