Heat and Fans in Home Lab environment

Jan 10, 2007 6 Replies

Hi,



As all you know, it is very "noisy" to manage a home lab. Actually on my 2600 & 2950 I don't hesitate to remove the fan connector (just unplugged the connector on the motherboard) Furthermore I let them open, so they can "breath". Is it risky? I hesite to do the same things with a 3640. What is your opinion?



Thx in advance.


Hi,

If you've removed the case and they can breathe there should be no risk ( unless they are at 100% LOAD 24/7, but since you've an home LAN it's not the case ). This is only an opinion of mine.

Regards, Gabriele

Wow, it is amazing ! I'll try to take some pictures with a real camera.

Hi, I changed the fan in my 2611 to one from Quietpc.com (the three-conductor-connector it comes with fits easily onto the two pins that come out of the motherboard). It makes less noise than the PC now. Dik
