1971camaroguy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 It's the 24 bay hot swap chassis that they sell Any suggestions on replacement fans to quiet it down? If I am not mistaken the direct replacement fan is a 80x25mm Hot Swap but they are out of stock https://store.supermicro.com/80mm-fan-0104l4.html I See Noctua has a 80x25mm fan, which is cheaper than the supermicro, has anyone took one of these and modified the stock hot swap holder that the supermicro fan is in and installed these? https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A8-PWM-Premium-Quiet/dp/B00NEMG62M/ref=dp_prsubs_1?pd_rd_i=B00NEMG62M&psc=1 One last thing is the hot swap power supplies, I know supermicro makes a quiet version, but has anyone swapped the internal fans to quiet it down? I figure not, but wanted to check. These are pretty expensive on thier own, if in stock. https://store.supermicro.com/920w-1u-pws-920p-sq.html?queryID=fbfd488eeb0e26953952c00785a1400c&objectID=652&indexName=supermicro_default_products Quote Link to comment
1971camaroguy Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I contacted the site and supermicro replenished the stock, I can get three of those now Anyone have a solution for the rear exhaust fans? The rep said he didn't have anything to replace mine with Quote Link to comment
1971camaroguy Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Also grabbed a Asus C236 WS motherboard to use with my 9th gen i7 processor...noticed the board has an onboard female usb 9 connector that I can plug a flash drive into...so that's nice Quote Link to comment
1971camaroguy Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Since nobody answered, I figured it out on the web......going with 5 x Noctua 80mm fans Thanks Quote Link to comment
Maticks Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 A few people around make these, you rip out the fan wall of 80mm, put in quiet 120mm fans instead. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/857444203/supermicro-sc846-cse846-120mm-fan-array?gpla=1&gao=1& 3d printing will be your friend you need to still get a seal to pull the air threw the hard drives.

Maticks Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Static pressure fans might be needed, unsure if anyone has done testing with SP fans and non SP fans. which one pulls more air through. Quote Link to comment

It's a ASUS WS C246 PRO LGA1151 Server Workstation Motherboard and a Intel i7 9700K Processor. 64GB Ram. I will say I have had this running for a while now..since thanksgiving and it hasn't missed a beat. I did stop it a few weeks back to add another drive to the pool. I really like this set-up with unraid. Edited February 23, 2022 by 1971camaroguy Quote Link to comment
1971camaroguy Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) I also added the noctua fans and a couple of supermicro quiet power supplies...huge difference. Especially the power supply fans, so I highly suggest getting a pair of those if anything. Edited February 23, 2022 by 1971camaroguy Quote Link to comment
ysss Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Nice. I'm also ordering a few things to quiet my main 846... (those green caged supermicro fans and the quiet (ps or qs series) psu. Quote Link to comment
