Built when Netflix first took away password sharing. Thanks for the heads up Netflix! Would not want to start this project now 😂
Here’s mine : )
Oooo, cute mini system! I’ve always wanted to start a cluster with tiny towers like that
For anybody not doing generative AI with it and not running massive loads on it, if you’re going to use an old gaming PC as a home server, at least replace the graphics card with a cheap one with no fans or use the integrated graphics on your CPU (something I believe pretty much all consumer CPUs of the last two decades have) and underclock the CPU if you don’t need full processing power since even small reductions in clock speed can significantly reduce the maximum temperature.
or use the integrated graphics on your CPU (something I believe pretty much all consumer CPUs of the last two decades have)
many ryzen CPUs don’t have integrated graphics. I think it might have become baseline from just ryzen 6000? but plenty of very still good chips were released before that. I wouldn’t trade them for an intel.
and underclock the CPU if you don’t need full processing power
underclock and undervolt
underclock and undervolt
If I’m not mistake only hobbyist level motherboards let you control the voltages and if one knows enough to get one of those they probably don’t need the advice I gave.
Also it’s hard to end up with a non-working or unstable configuration with underclocking, whilst it’s pretty easy to do so with undervoltage.
That said, for those who know what they’re doing, your suggestion definitely delivers lowers temperatures than underclocking alone though at the risk of a less stable system (which can be ameliorated with proper stress testing).
Seems cozy
thanks for sharing, nicely done, would love a video or dB reading. noise wise, my rack doesn’t get too bad running mini-itx boards and quadro p2200s; my gaming rig, on the other hand, could benefit from this. SFF case with a deshrouded rx 6650 xt and 80mm server fans from arctic (max 8000rpm). it sounds like a jet engine spinning up when i play anything, despite the 3000rpm limit i put in fan control.
aside, would you mind sharing your av1 settings? i currently pass everything through ffmpeg to mkv in an attempt to save space with my plex library
What’s your electric bill look like each month?
Looks like with the doors closed its going to be smokin.
The one fan in the left will do the trick
i love the toxic kiddies on selfhost these days “its too hot the fans wrong” op explains and gets downvoted. whats the saying?, “not my circus not my monkeys”. if this is the energy your going to bring to this community go back to reddit and be a toxic pos there.
I’m choosing to focus on the positive comments, and giving info to those who doubt. In the end I know there’s a few people at least who saw this and got some inspiration for a fun project
You are a bigger person than I <3 what youre doing is a great solution to noise in a living space and if you have no thermal throttling its designed exactly fo what its intended for. Thanks for sharing you have given me some ideas for managing my own noise issues regarding homelabbing.
I just think no one’s really coming at it in a way they think it’s rude, and most had been out of concern, just worded rough. I definitely can be rough with my words sometime so I can’t be too mad. Also thanks for engaging ❤️ love you and all the lurkers following along
lolz that’s wayyyy too much emotional maturity for the internet. we need more of it :)
For those worried about temps. The cpu never goes past the 80s when being ran hard, and drive temps are comfortably in the 40s
A little bit of airflow can make a huge difference. If it works it works. I think the doubters have just never experimented.
You left in your IP no0b! Now I’m gonna pwn your server with my super hacker skillz xoxoxoxo
P.S. That’s is one hell of a setup! I am surprised how well ventilated it is
I just sent a ddos attack to his ip. In an unrelated event my doorbell camera has stopped working?
Means you got the wrong ip…the correct one is 127.0.0.1
Bet it’s quiet as fuck tho
Oh, and if anyone is curious on specs. This is my old gaming rig but it’s: I9 11900k Z590I Vision D ITX mobo 64gb memory The 16x lane is bifurcated to run: Intel a310 & Lsi 9305 16e into a hp dl380
There are two fans built into the cabinet. Temps stay nice and cool
I love that you’ve got this explanation because my first reaction was… Hot! Too… Hot!
It was a common comment after a few hours 😂 also looking forward to spaceballs the sequel!!
Me too! I hope they reference “the search for more money!”
Or spaceballs 3, the search for spaceballs 2
bro built an expensive radiator that hosts movies
Thankfully all either used, or bought before the Ai drive prices
Neat, an Intel GPU.
Thanks! For plex and frigate it’s been awesome. Also running tdarr to rencode everything to Av1 at 8mbs or less
Unless there are vents underneath, you might also want to flip that power supply around, so the fan’s on top.
One exhaust on top, and an intake on bottom. Temps are great 😊
Yeah but I bet they could be better because your intake/exhaust do not look like they can keep up with your CPU cooler. I would install bigger fans with a higher CFM, and remove the insulating foam padding.
OP has published his numbers and you still think you know better.
What a riot.
They didn’t post anything at the time of my comment as far as I saw. Link please.
You’d 100% be wrong I’m sorry to say. With the way the setup is my temps are barely above what they would be outside the cabinet, with the benefit that it’s basically silent (it’s in my living room by necessity and I can’t hear it)
Sorry brother this makes me twitchy. Needs air.
OP posted his numbers and you think you know better.
Bet you’re fun at parties.
Ever just throw a hot pocket in there for a couple minutes?
Lol, it’s warm. Though thanks to the intake and exhaust built into the cabinet the tennis are great. I added what they currently are while it’s rencoding by library.
Not sure if stroke or just above my head.
I think “tennis” was supposed to be “temps” but got autocorrected.
Excellent heat retention! Doubles as a stove top
There’s actually two fans built into the cabinet! Pulls more fresh air then if it were outside of it. 😎❄️
