the N5 has 8 lights for 8 HDDs, but I have 27 hdds so far I can run in it.
leaving 19 hdds with NO lights (the 4 hdd at the front has leds INSIDE)
so I am looking for how to get LEDs from basic HDDs.
like the 8 drive, and 4, has leds from individual drive plugs.
8-4-4 burfcation in a pcie5 x16 allows,
a 5060 mini plugged into a dual ssd device.
I bought two 4tb Samsung Pro 990 @ $260 each right the price freaked to $770 each,
so I can have pcie4 8tb ssd added to the 5060 with 8gb.
the lower case box is too small for a standard 3D spool, however it WILL fit 7 harddrives with enough room for airflow.
the wiring is crowded using standard plugs, so wiring to fit as needed looks good.
air water silly continues.
a point of filament heater dehumids is using heat to get filament dry FAST.
using the computer would not create very hot air but WOULD run all the time, for free.
water cooling would allow easy hoses to put the heat where the filament is stored.
I have been looking about how to dehumidimize the 3D printer filament.
the standard is using a electrical heater in a box with the filament inside.
the N5 is a box with electrical heaters inside.
so using the cooling for the computer, AS FILAMENT dehumadimizer air flow, seems quite silly...
I have been working on how to generate stuff with the 3D Printer.
Freecad looks unable to me, it just refuses to make sense to me.
fusion is offended by me, i appear to tried it a couple years and did not please it, so it hates me and will not allow me to try it, again.
so I am using 3D...
seems to be the situation, I have the jonsbo plug in the asrock X399m taichi board, and it fits fine.
find a supermicro plug, with wires, and solder the appropriate wires from the jonsbo plug.
I saw no need for the protective grill at the cpu fan exhaust.
i did not want to use a saw, and spray steel shards everywhere, so I tried my hakko chp170 cutter.
it cut easily, so the steel of the N5 is more made of butter than guns.
after cutting through all the 'fingers' the hakko still cuts...
I do not understand,
the wires from the case power button etc. to the mboard etc. ?
I plugged in a 10700 era board and everything worked and plugged in properly to the N5.
I am not interested in water cooling, so how to use fans effectively IS interesting.
the standard fan flow shape is a donut, but the shape of the cooler is a square.
so the cooler has a lot of area that gets inferior air from the fan's when the fan is bolted to the cooler.
moving the fan away...
the removable 4 hdd chunk has a problem I've found so far.
it is built of steel sheet pieces that are screwed together.
the slots that the rubber HDD mounts go inside are not perfectly smooth, I rubbed with some folded paper towel on the edge and it was sliced.
600grit sandpaper fixed that...
