the fan adapter uses tiny wires, ugly. this looks better. this powers the 8 hdd unit complete with a socket for the PSU plug to unplug. molex plug at the socket end needs the wire needs major bending around the SATA wire right in its middle. not soldered in this, just heatshrink to show the...

the intake 120mm, and middle 140mm were just sitting no mounting. so I used four 50mm, 3mm screws to create a nice solid mount to them to the CPU cooler. No Tools required. the Noctua 120 and 140 uses the (120) same screw holes. so having the two screws pointed each has about 12 threads meshing...

power wires for HDDs use a LOT sockets. so use ONLY the minimum of sockets and wire length. this Fan splitter gives 5 sockets for HDDs using 1 Sata socket. (correct sata plugs need to be soldered for this concept.) just right for the 12 Hdds of the N5. I found a 6 Sata plug wire with a Sata...

four 2.5, two 3.5 hard drives in the spare room in the drive/psu half.

three 120mm fans and one 140mm running quietly on the CPU cooler.

the front hdds fans ready to unplug the power wires, allowing the inner fan mount to be pulled, accessing to the 12 HDDs. there is enough room to run fan a wire from the 2 bottom fans to the 2 top fans with no metal cutting.

three 120 Noctuas as exhaust,all 3 external mounted. the single 140 CPU fan runs this other 3,same 3 splitter setup. the 850 seasonic PSU is spaced 1" out, to add space to power plugs inside. the botton fans unplug with 1 plug, to access to the 4 2.4" hdds inside. the twin fans DO have the...

four 140 Noctua intakes. the bottom 2 are removable, the bottom still requires a plate to block the holes, and mount the USB sockets. the stock start button remains in the center. all 4 intakes are plugged to one motherboard fan outport, using 3 noctua two into plug fan splitters. (I Like those...

the temperature of the drives IS understood by windows, now I need how to use that data to run the fans.

I would also like to be able to do "staggered spin-up controlled by backplane" ! by creating my own wired backplane that does the leds too.

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.

just right for a 8-4-4 burfcation

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...

the N5 has the mobile 4 hdd bit 'for power wire access'. I pulled it out from the case and plugged it into the wifi adapter device. with only the sata power plugged in, no molex power, it runs four 14tb sata drives and two 120mm fans, using a "low-noise adapter" to use the always full power...

I took off the wifi lump and installed the sata adapter, to see if it works and see which way the wires are aimed. it works, all 4 hdds work good. the green light is four leds that show when the hdd is used. entirely unuseful too tiny, and no way to see which one flashed.

I looked for a Seasonic 850 titanium SFX PSU, because that would be much more shorter than the ATX psu device. does not seem to exist. so adding a 1" spacer allows about 2.5" room for all the power wires between the HDD wiring. I plugged into the 5 hdd power sockets using sata and molex...

the PSU fits in place sideways between the sata circuit board and the exhaust fans, with air flow room. need a use for the original PSU mount plate.

the Corsair RM1000x shift psu is what inspired the notion of the power sockets on the side instead of the end. but, I want the sockets on the BOTTOM side, opposite the psu fan, not the side. not available.

overkill is sometimes excessive. instead of easy to build and cheap plastic the pipe covers are MACHINED STAINLESS STEEL. plenty thick tall to cut in height, but tough to file delicately. that took a while, leaving 15 left to file. dremel time.

with the silver arrow sitting still on the CPU dust protector I put the aluminium case top. the Arrow pipe top covers touch the case top. BUT the six screws all fit easily, implying only a minor collision to deal with. the Arrow has a beauty cap on each pipe, which is actually what contacts the...

I quite like the Seasonic 850, but I would like the power sockets on the side we can see in the previous picture. that would allow the power wire bundle to run along the bottom to the other side where the motherboard power sockets are above. keeping the power away from the data. since the 850...

I took out the four screws out and removed the twin exaust fans assembly. a 140mm fan has enough room of tall, but the second hits well before it runs into the PSU wall. there is a hole in the motherboard base panel for the sata cables AND board power wires. I mockedup wires to simulate sata...

jonsbo has nice fan grating, instead of little round holes it has biggish slots =more air, less steel. I like what noctua does to this concept.

the structure of the case is built of thin steel, but there is a thick plastic piece about 1" tall and the width of the case being pretty . so all the button, usb, and lights are all mounted to the steel, with the plastic bolted in front just to look nice. it would be nice to be able to 3D print...

the front panel has one C usb, one audio plug and one A usb. each plug has an individual cord to plug into the motherboard sockets. the x399m has no usb A socket, and two sockets that have two usb C outlets each, four panel sockets possible. I have no use for the audio plug. so swapping the...

Jonsbo N5 NAS Case Build - GET IT RIGHT, FIRST TIME the latest thoughts of NASCompares. the first line is what youtube titles this video, I have poor ability of finding a URL in youtube.

the point of wire management is to rout the power wires as far way as possible from data cables, as well as short in length. so figuring where the drive data is headed is primary.

the silver arrow TR4 cpu cooler is slightly too too tall, but without the cpu installed, just the stock dust cover in place. close.

5 or 6 drives will fit between a intake fan and the cpu intake. (between the X399m having 3 M.2 drives and the asus hyper having 2 M.2 sockets, I see 5 m.2 x3 drives available.) I can see 23 sata drives mounted in the N5 and plugged to the threadripper.

the asrock X399m has 8 sata plugs standard. the asus hyper card with two m,2 to sata cards, one with 5sata, the other with 6sata, leaving sockets for two M.2 drives. totaling 19 sata available. 23 if I go with the wifi to sata adapter.
