Posted September 22, 2017 I don't have first hand experience but don't server PSU fans just run at 100% all the time? Even if I'm wrong considering it's size isn't it a high pitch wining?

Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) FSP Group has an ATX Redundant Power Supply out on the market. Not sure how good it is, but the best part about it is, as I've mentioned, ATX, so it'll fit into any case that takes ATX power supplies already. But since you've hacked up the case and made it work, it's there. Just a reminder next time or if you're at all curious. https://www.amazon.com/FSP-Module-Swappable-Redundant-Digital/dp/B072WHHL7F/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506055334&sr=1-1&keywords=FSP+Group+Redundant+Power+Supply As for how loud their fans are, my school has a BOXX RenderPro rendering node, and it is equipped with a Seasonic server power supply due to its form factor, and its fan is not all that loud. The whole system becomes loud when it renders something, I've tested it.

Posted September 22, 2017 That looks interesting Although I'd probably want a quiet fan in a server PSU in a desktop case I was using. I'd like to be able to put a server motherboard in a desktop case some day without voiding the warranty due to modding the case. For example, something like an 8-socket-SP3 version of one of these: Spoiler In one of these: Spoiler While simultaneously being able to fit all of... Spoiler At least four of these,: One of these for each CPU and GPU die, VRM, VRAM/DRAM, etc,: About 4 or more of these,: s At least four of these,: Four or so of these,: Enough of these to populate all SATA ports (including 4-way splits from SAS on the card above) and drive bays (adding extra hot-swap bays if there's fewer of those than ports),: Without needing one of these to house it all. Spoiler Or needing to spend about as many (or more) of these than would fit in the above "case". Spoiler And I'm sure I forgot a bunch of things Not that I can afford them anyway, and yes I know I'm dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermicro already has boards with up to 32 DIMMs split across two CPUs. I'm also sure that AMD has limited the socket count to 2, given that they're physically large as they are, and having 8 of them is physically impossible with current hardware. You'll need a ridiculously large server board in a proprietary form factor. Plus to fit those in a tower chassis, you're going to have to go custom.

Posted September 23, 2017 To be honest, I've used a 5€(!!) Server PSU a couple of Months/weeks/years. Need to mod one of the connectors though. And it wasn't that annoying. Was a 460W NMB by the way.
