Built when Netflix first took away password sharing. Thanks for the heads up Netflix! Would not want to start this project now ๐
Edit: adding temp and specs
I9 11900k Z590I Vision D ITX mobo 64gb memory The 16x lane is bifurcated to run: Intel a310 & Lsi 9305 16e into a hp dl380
Drives are 10x 14 tb wdd in raidz1, 6 256gb sata ssds in a pair of 3 wide mirrors for special vdev metadata, a 512gb nvme for read cache, and a 64gb optane for slog
I don't get this setup. First you install a lot of sound proofing, then you install one fan that has to run near light speed to keep that computer cool.
I very much agree with you - I would use more fans on the outside enclosure, possibly behind more barriers so the sound is never direct (it has to bounce off walls before getting out). Eg a vent cover on the outside or simply vents mounted inside the case (not directly on the outside hole).
(Possibly also keeping the positive pressure inside the enclosure for dust control.)
However there might be an argument about HDD noise that is fairly particular to the drive models.
Maybe op just doesn't like noisy HDDs & isn't that bothered by fans (I centrally am more bothered by enterprise HDD noise than the noise of quality fans), so the solution is HDD-noise oriented (and I think it works in that regard).
(And yes, I do pick my HDDs by noise too.)
I think even just installing an intake would do wonders for this setup. A hole cut with a filter would be good, an additional fan directing air at the bottom would be even better. I'm assuming this PC case has some kind of intake / exhaust. Right now it's prob just recirculating its own air. That single fan on the prob isn't doing that much.
The intake is probably in the bottom.
This guy got it! Love you man
Yea exactly I mean for the outer case prob needs its own intake
I hate the sound of Disk Drives spinning up and clicking
If you can hear it, it's most likely working. Or at least that's what I've convinced myself after listening to them spinning up for the past 15 years.
They remind me of a coffee machine
We just have the file server in another room and use a mini itx pc slaved to the tv as a player with a bequiet psu
I have an intake on the bottom pulling cold air, and the top is for exhaust. Both are 3000 rpm fans and together keep the tennis real low. I added the current tennis in a comment while it's running full tilt
Are the fans quiet too?
They are! I also have a small sheet of foam on the wall behind the cabinet too to catch any sound leaking out, so all I get is a small hum
See if you can find a Monsterlabo case. They went out of business, but their fanless cases are all heatsink so zero noise.
I picked up the itx model and overspecd the power supply so that the power supply fan never turns on either.
That's crazy! That would be such a fun system to play with for a silent transcoding setup. Thanks for sharing ๐
The only negative is with the case installed, you don't know if it is powering on when you hit the button, because there is no fan noise or HDD noise (I used SSDs). So you have to peek in the top vent to see if mobo lights flicker. ๐
Is there high tennis?
Lol. I mistyped tennis so many times ๐
