i love the toxic kiddies on selfhost these days “its too hot the fans wrong” op explains and gets downvoted. whats the saying?, “not my circus not my monkeys”. if this is the energy your going to bring to this community go back to reddit and be a toxic pos there.

You are a bigger person than I <3 what youre doing is a great solution to noise in a living space and if you have no thermal throttling its designed exactly for what its intended for. Thanks for sharing you have given me some ideas for managing my own noise issues regarding homelabbing.

I just think no one’s really coming at it in a way they think it’s rude, and most had been out of concern, just worded rough. I definitely can be rough with my words sometime so I can’t be too mad. Also thanks for engaging ❤️ love you and all the lurkers following along

For those worried about temps. The cpu never goes past the 80s when being ran hard, and drive temps are comfortably in the 40s

A little bit of airflow can make a huge difference. If it works it works. I think the doubters have just never experimented.

You left in your IP no0b! Now I’m gonna pwn your server with my super hacker skillz xoxoxoxo
P.S. That’s is one hell of a setup! I am surprised how well ventilated it is

Oh, and if anyone is curious on specs. This is my old gaming rig but it’s: 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

Super quiet, and had been running non stop for over a year no with no problems 😊 also that i9 runs super hot. When it was in my lil gaming rig it was always running up near 90. So retiring to the server had been much more gentle on it, lol

For anybody not doing generative AI with it and not running massive loads on it, if you’re going to use an old gaming PC as a home server, at least replace the graphics card with a cheap one with no fans or use the integrated graphics on your CPU (something I believe pretty much all consumer CPUs of the last two decades have) and underclock the CPU if you don’t need full processing power since even small reductions in clock speed can significantly reduce the maximum temperature.
- WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.worksEnglish10 hours
or use the integrated graphics on your CPU (something I believe pretty much all consumer CPUs of the last two decades have)
many ryzen CPUs don’t have integrated graphics. I think it might have become baseline from just ryzen 6000? but plenty of very still good chips were released before that. I wouldn’t trade them for an intel.
and underclock the CPU if you don’t need full processing power
underclock and undervolt

underclock and undervolt
If I’m not mistake only hobbyist level motherboards let you control the voltages and if one knows enough to get one of those they probably don’t need the advice I gave.
Also it’s hard to end up with a non-working or unstable configuration with underclocking, whilst it’s pretty easy to do so with undervoltage.
That said, for those who know what they’re doing, your suggestion definitely delivers lowers temperatures than underclocking alone though at the risk of a less stable system (which can be ameliorated with proper stress testing).

There are two fans built into the cabinet. Temps stay nice and cool

thanks for sharing, nicely done, would love a video or dB reading. noise wise, my rack doesn’t get too bad running mini-itx boards and quadro p2200s; my gaming rig, on the other hand, could benefit from this. SFF case with a deshrouded rx 6650 xt and 80mm server fans from arctic (max 8000rpm). it sounds like a jet engine spinning up when i play anything, despite the 3000rpm limit i put in fan control.
aside, would you mind sharing your av1 settings? i currently pass everything through ffmpeg to mkv in an attempt to save space with my plex library

Here’s my tdarr flow. I have redundent paths to handle if qsv fails and to retry in software if you’re curious of why it splits
Also, here’s my lil gaming rig too. Runs warm, but it’s tiny.
It’s a 9800x3d paired with a 6800xt

Ever just throw a hot pocket in there for a couple minutes?
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish6 hours
Lol, it’s warm. Though thanks to the intake and exhaust built into the cabinet the temps are great. I added what they currently are while it’s rencoding by library.

This post here. I fixed it on most replies, but SwiftKey did not like me using the word temp

Added them in another comment, but I’ll put them here to. This is while I have plex and frigate running with tdarr rencoding 8 files into av1 at a time

Yeah, seems a second fan would help with air flow into/out of the case. Depending on how air tight everything is when it’s closed.
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
There are actuality two fans. There’s an intake on the bottom full cold air, and the top is exhaust. I posted temps if you wanna see how it is at full tilt
- 1 day
If it’s just a media server that spends 99.5% of its life idling, temps might not actually be that bad.
- 1 day
But enclosed in a box without much airflow and those temps are going to creep up over time. And take even longer to cool down. Hopefully there’s fans in the bottom or side. Because one exhaust is not great for even just the heat from those hard drives.
I think the best way to handle airflow out is to have a turn or two on the intake/exhausts for the noise to get trapped. I personally just put mine in my basement though. That limits the sound pretty well.
- cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deEnglish1 day
All of those hard drives will produce quite a bit of heat just sitting idle.
1 dayThey usually do transcoding when you watch a movie or so. Depending on hardware that may heat it up a bit. I guess if it would have heating problems then OP would have resolved that already though.

There’s actually two fans built into the cabinet! Pulls more fresh air then if it were outside of it. 😎❄️
- Quacksalber@sh.itjust.worksEnglish1 day
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.
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
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
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish19 hours
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
- BCsven@lemmy.caEnglish16 hours
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.
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish6 hours
That’s crazy! That would be such a fun system to play with for a silent transcoding setup. Thanks for sharing 😊
- Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.clubEnglish1 day
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.)
- octobob@lemmy.mlEnglish1 day
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.

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.

Thankfully all either used, or bought before the Ai drive prices
- SteveTech@aussie.zoneEnglish23 hours
Unless there are vents underneath, you might also want to flip that power supply around, so the fan’s on top.
- Psythik@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
Yeah but I bet they could be better because your intake/exhaust do not look like they can keep up with your CPU cooler. I would install bigger fans with a higher CFM, and remove the insulating foam padding.
- Hamknight@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
You’d 100% be wrong I’m sorry to say. With the way the setup is my temps are barely above what they would be outside the cabinet, with the benefit that it’s basically silent (it’s in my living room by necessity and I can’t hear it)
