    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    Got the temperature down 22c (97-75) by installing a fan in the sidepanel, temporary fix until i have time to do something more serious. Was thinking of taking an old pci card and just drill two 80mm holes in the pcb and mount 2x80mm fans on it, would look something like this

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    I did not buy it of ebay, i spent a little more because i wanted easy warranty, and that 1000$ also includes the cachevault kit.

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    It's towards the end of the card,

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    Allright, this method seems like the most reliable option but i would hate to break a 1000$ card :/ My server is in a fractal design r4 so there is a fan slot in the sidepanel right where the pci slots are, i'll mount a fan there blowing on the card and see what results i get before doing...

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    i've looked at similar options but my conclusion was that the fan didn't reach to the heatsink, but you say it does work?

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    Just my thought, but what kind of screws would i use? Like really sharp threaded ones? or would regular fan screws work and just thread itself into the heatsink?

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    Double sided tape? Attached on the top of the card not the heatsink i suppose?

    Cooling the LSI 9271-8i?

    Hi guys, i just got the lsi 9271-8i card and it runs really hot, about 97c. I know that this card is meant to sit in a rack server with very high airflow but is anyone else running this in a standard pc case? And if so, do you cool it actively and how? hoping for answers!

    ARC-1882i or 9271-8i?

    I didn't know that, but there are regular sas3->sata breakout cables i suppose?

    ARC-1882i or 9271-8i?

    hmm yeah, that's something to think about. How about going sas3? the price difference isn't that great.

    ARC-1882i or 9271-8i?

    Are you talking about the LSI "Storage Manager" windows software? Do you use any cache backup unit? Well where i live it's more expensive but it isn't by that much.

    ARC-1882i or 9271-8i?

    Hi guys, i can't decide which raid card to get and i would love some input from you guys. The card will be featured in my ESXi server and mainly handle my archive. Either the Areca ARC-1882i or the LSI 9271-8i? ARC-1882i pros/cons +dedicated lan port for management +cheaper than the LSI...

    LSI and Cachecade Pro

    I want a fast partition between my server and my desktop (no particular reason), maybe i should just make a separate raid array for that with ssds and not incorporate that into my storage raid?

    LSI and Cachecade Pro

    I'm gonna buy a new set of drives for a new rad6, preferebly wd reds 6tb or 8tb ones if they've been released when the time comes. Still no one is using cachecade pro here? I thought it would be somewhat popular. I still can't figure out the differences between HW and SW keys or the...
