    Another Supermicro Quieting Thread

    Very cool. Sounds like this might work with the passive CPU coolers that come on the Supermicro servers. Supermicro also makes and active cooler with a fan that fits in 2U servers. The Noctua has one that fits in the 4U servers. But this PTM7950 might be cheaper. So far my CPU temps are <...
