07/30/2018, 9:14 AM@User think that e200 only has 2 fans but the option to add a 3rd one. https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/Mini-ITX/SYS-E200-8D.cfm - j

user
07/30/2018, 10:03 AMDid you find you needed the 3rd ?? - d

07/30/2018, 10:43 AMwhen adding a 3rd one it seems the average noise level is lower because of lower rpm - s

07/30/2018, 9:10 PMHow about swapping those with some Noctua coolers? - u

user
07/30/2018, 9:13 PMReplaced most coolers in my lab gear with Noctua fans and the noise is way lower. Still need to find time for replacing them on the 5028Ds - u

07/30/2018, 9:42 PMThanks for sharing @User @dready that's why I love this channel. I've just added 12 to my shopping cart 😉 - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:43 PMI already have that fan in the 5028D that I bought from Paul Braren - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:43 PM@dready didn't know you had a E200-8D - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:44 PM@User glad to have you back, the Skull Plexi didn't fly so I decided to just sell them all 6 and buy 3 more E200-8D. Plan is 4 node Nutanix CE, must testing now Nutanix and VMware, the latest feels much faster but that's on pure NVMe though - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:53 PM@User do you have E200-8D? Did you switch with the fan module you shared above? - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:54 PMNo E200. Too noisy. I have the bigger brother, 5028d - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:55 PMMe 2x 5028D but I like the form factor - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:55 PMmight try to swap all fans and see - u
user
07/30/2018, 9:56 PMPortable 4U rack on wheels why easier than 4x 5028D 😉 - u
user
07/30/2018, 10:15 PMGood luck with that. I don't plan to replace mine anytime soon and don't need a SFF - u

08/08/2018, 8:41 PMGood afternoon all. Looking to purchase some hardware to do some testing w/ Nutanix AHV (CE) and NVIDIA M10 Cards. (Looked at http://www.nvidia.com/object/grid-certified-servers.html) Any good experiences with any of the Super Micro boxes with capabilities w/ M10? - u
user
08/08/2018, 9:43 PM@User If you don't mind me asking, how much did that M10 cost? - j
