![]() Those fans have a rating of 62CFM each but seem to be rated for high static pressure. But I figured I'd see if anyone else that actually pays attention to the reviews has any good recommendations before I click "buy". So I consider this a situation that requires rectification. I try to keep the hard drives below 40C, but I'm getting emails that 1-3 hard drives are hitting 45C. Previously those 24 drives have had only 1 failure in over 3 years of uptime. They are all Green drives so I can't really buy "lower powered" hard drives. I do have every available fan slot filled with a fan along with a PCI exhaust fan.Īnyway, I moved my server to the basement 2 weeks ago after having 4 drives fail(out of 24) within about 14 days. I do know that the other components (CPU, video card, etc.) are a bit warmer than I'm used to, so I tend to think that this isn't an issue limited to just the hard drives. As an idiot check I did verify that the little vents for the hard drives are all open fully so there is maximum airflow. In past years the server was in the basement, but had a different case and different fans. As such, I thought they'd provide enough cooling. I bought these fans because they are basically bearing-less. They seem to have good air flow unless there is backpressure or obstructions. I did buy the "upgraded" backplane that has 3x120mm versus 4x80mm and i currently have 3 Gelid 120mm fans in the backplane. I don't have central A/C and its common to see living room temperatures over 90F. ![]() ![]() ![]() Naturally my server is a bit too hot in my living room. ![]()
