Finally got around to doing a few things today:-

 

Reworked my main server config, and installed my new HBA SAS card... all going nicely with freeNAS accepting it and finding my ZFS volume etc, no extra work was needed at all :)

Made some cabling adjustments also, apart from the breakout cables I mean. It's now much easier to connect/disconnect drives if/when needed.

 

Put my new Inwin Polaris 2x 120mm fans in my case, in all their RGB goodness, lol... I actually got these for a future build, but decided to use them for now to give my VRMs a bit more cooling at the said of the case... lovely fans to work with, so easy and less cables to hide too. Can't really see the full benefit of them in the case I have right now, so that's why no pics.

 

Also put some new fans on my rads of the main PC and my mining rig, as the fans that came with the rad/AIO were making a horrible rattling sound every now and then, I think loose bearing or fans blades aren't done well and off balance. Fixed now anyway, so a bit more pleasant for quietness now. The other ones weren't terrible, but I do have OCD and disabilities where I can't ignore stuff how I used to... it was like a low hum/rattle that would barely be noticeable if in a room with other stuff happening, and for a £42 AIO I was happy enough to put up with them for a while... new fans cost me ~£20 for 2, went for corsair SP 120mm and they are very nice.

 

Reworked a few settings on the miners, now got 5KH/s more with the 1050, and the 1060s each got an extra ~40KH/s, so my mining rig is now ~1020KH/s, and the main pc is 175KH/s for the 1050.

 

Been a busy boy today, still didn't get to doing my mining rig frame though, weather wasn't good enough to be in the garden with power tools etc... and don't have room otherwise.
